Concrete Pillar, Rockford, IL (December 17, 2015, 9:38am)

This is one of those scenes that I see literally every day.

Directly in front of my parking space at work, there is a parking lot light pole. I've looked at the concrete base of this light pole every morning when I arrive and every evening when I leave. For a long time, I thought, "that's a pretty interesting pattern in the concrete."

And so, I brought my camera with me, affixed it to my tripod and snapped a couple of shots. Seeing it up on my screen made me wonder why I waited so long. Sometimes it's the mundane everyday objects that contain some beauty or interest if we stop long enough to notice.
