Unfortunately it's probably already claimed or I would drive the 2+ hours to snag it!!!

Seriously though, what I really like outside of the fog and the muted colors is the housing development behind the fence in the background. Great choice of DOF. This shot in so many ways is representative of the suburban lifestyle here in Texas. GREAT SHOT!!!!

One of my favourite motifs is 'reclaimed by nature', whether as urban decay, the fiction of JG Ballard or images such as this of displaced items in the environment. Eyesores they may often be but the gradual claiming by nature has a fascination and a certain beauty too. And this is a very fine example. I also like the processing with the slight 'glow' to the twigs etc. Personally I would have included more of the surrounding environment to reflect the insignificance of the man-made in nature but I do like the glimpses of the human would behind.

I could not have said it any better Pete
, but I wonder why americans are so keen on Ikea? We here in Scandinavia where it originates from, look upon it as "no clas furniture."
So this can hardly be from Ikea.

Thank Steve, Pete, and Ivar! Pete, I have to agree a deeper look into "the insignificance of the man-made in nature" would be fascinating and I personally LOVE taking photos of abandoned furniture covered in nature. You're completely right, the way nature claims humanities unwanted "junk" is..oddly fascinating..theres a deeper symbolic meaning to be discovered in that. I haven't read any of JG Ballard's work, But now I am highly interested. Ivar, hahaha! I have no idea. I'm going to have to agree and say this couch was not from IKEA.
