Unidentical Twins
2/09/20
These photos were taken on December 14, 2019 at 4:42 AM.
The location was in the street near the 7/11 I frequent each morning when doing my part time job in Washington DC.
The "Take It!” was an easy decision as I had never seen two oil drippings in a wet street that were so close
together and had an obvious look that they were from the same vehicle.
Try as I may to have these images take on some sort of readily identifiable shape - they never do - and I am left
to marvel at the tie dye like spectrum of color so readily visible to the eye.
Someday I hope to find one of these that is ready to make up an enlarged print and have it framed. I have
little doubt it would be a conversation piece as a wall hanging. We shall see.
Should you happen upon one of these oil spills - please be careful - for if you are in the street - watch for
traffic and stay out of harm's way.
Wishing you all my best,
Bruce

This gave me a flashback to my childhood. My dad was always out tinkering with his old Ford. I do not know cars very well so I could not say what model, but I remember looking at these oil splotches and doing the same imaginative thing I did with clouds.

Maybe its because I just watched it recently but this made me think of that movie Deep Impact

Fraternal oil stains!

Looks like a couple Jellyfish to me. You guys are reinvigorating my imagination!

My husband once explained to me why they give the rainbow spectrum when water hits them but for the life of me, I cannot remember.

I shudder whenever I see oil slick on the ground. I once slipped on one and broke my arm.
