<p>Look what I&#8217;ve found!</p>
<p>I always surprised when people can create an art out of a scrap metal. This car is a feature, it is a sculpture and an inspiration for others. Remember the post with the gate lions covered in Christmas lights? That was the example &#8220;how to&#8230;make this world brighter&#8221;. When I look on this car it feels like the thought behind it is &#8220;how to make this world more beautiful&#8221;(though Christmas lights are remaining to be the main virus in the country).</p>
<p>And here is the thing. We always can give to a subject a new life, we can terminate it, trash it, recycle it, but very rare we give to this thing a deserve aging and beautiful retiring life. We enjoy to decide a lifespan  for a subject which we create. It is something like to play in the little Gods role. So satisfying and so tempting!</p>

<p>Какое удивительное чудо найти за поворотом такую скульптуру.</p>
<p>Да, да, скульптуру. Для меня это произведение искусства, вылепленное человеком. Оно человеком произведенное, человеком использованное и человеком же похороненное. Редкую вещь нам удается захоронить, обычно мы утилизируем, выбрасываем, переделываем, но почетной старости не даем. Не положено. Говорят, бездуховный предмет. А предмет живет, предмет цветет и улучшается. Мне говорят &#8211; это вторая весна для них, а я думаю, что нет, вот это и есть настоящая жизнь, когда уйдя на пенсию, нет смысла кому-то что либо доказывать. А есть возможность просто радоваться себе и жить в свое удовольствие.</p>
<p>Тем более, когда есть такой интересующийся всем сосед!</p>
