APRIL 2018 - THIS week's PICTURE

CHLORIDE : photo by Malcolm Aslett

Maybe Americans haven't quite got this town-naming thing down yet. Chloride. Sounds like a place you might want to bring up your kids. If you're the Addams Family.

Big space. Lots of sky (though it has been scientifically proven they have the same amount of sky as everyone else). Red dirt and brush. A colourful sign.

This is also a big picture. Though it all looks as if things are normal and hanging together, when you zoom in to look closer there are a lot of discrepancies, contours broken and things not right.

Yessir. Chloride. I love the smell of Chloride in the morning. It's the smell of school swimming baths and Mrs Gardner teaching us the breast stroke fully clothed and sitting on a chair pool side because she had never learned to swim herself.

I like the painted sign. Check out the detail below and the little logos to indicate camping and, also, it seems, one for legless people with walking sticks in a hail storm.
