It is not surprising that I was awestruck the first time I stumbled across the work of
Bernd and Hilla Becher.
Coal Bunkers, 1974, Tate Gallery
Pitheads, 1974, Tate Gallery
I'm not going to waffle on about what they're up to and why I like them, it's quite obvious.Click here for
more images and
interesting clip on youtube where they talk about their work. I thought again of their work when I looked at this pic I took the other day. Could not resist the pale metal against the pale sky.
And here's a quick sketch. Driving in the Drakensberg a few summers ago we skidded to a halt on a lonely dirt road when we came round a corner and saw this watchtower on a hill in the horizon.
