Climbing the Greasy Pole.

I saw this fabulous photograph in the Times; it is the skyline scattered with poles that are topped with the national flag, bicycles and other toys to celebrate Indonesia’s 64th Independence anniversary. The photograph shows a man greasing the poles, on the day competitors have to climb up the poles to claim the prizes.

The composition is really intriguing; the repetition of the bicycle wheels, the white and orange flags, also the selective use of colours makes you want to study the photography and look at each individual segment of the photograph. The composition complements the actual subject perfectly, this would make a really interesting piece of mixed media art.

This is a photo I found on Google, I will scan the original photo I found and put it on here asap.
