Description " Yet another alien reaches Our Shores...and is apprehended upon arrival."
Let's hope it never comes to this, that this is only an imaginary piece that occurred
to me after perusing my Seattle Photos.

Is it only me or do I see arms, hands and eventually a human?
How did you do this photo?
At first sight I thought it's only wood.
Is this a real person?

Let's check out comments.

...oh political, now that quote makes sense.

After taking the photo, I began to discern a long haired figure, left side and back to us. He's hanging his head.,etc,...so I GoogleD HANDCUFFED PERSONS and found one that combined VERY WELL with the wood. It then became political piece as Trump was/is threatening deportations You Read It Well....thanks....blow up to see the handcuffs. Regards....

Hmmm...Trump is just beginning to remove the "Illegals" from our country!
That's what this piece is about. It's a sad piece, and a sad day for all of us!!!

I'm with you all the way on this'n.

I don't know if you intended the anchor and bones shapes, but I'm seeing them BECAUSE of the power of your message.

The tall shape is a handcuffed individual. That's was struck me as prophetic!

I love a bit of driftwood on a beach Β 
I see clearly the handcuffed hands. Remarkable

I'm so thrilled you also perceived a detained male, long hair, etc. Trump would love to detain and send back all new immigrants. Not many viewers picked up on this political commentary. You've made my day. Thanks, Lawrence...

I think it's just remarkable. It's so clear it could be a sculpture
Nature is a wonderΒ 
I'm glad I made your dayΒ

THANKS for writing, Eva Polly...so nice to hear from you.
Glad you like THAT photo. Out of the the 104 pics I shot in Seattle,
I found 4 that I like. Gray, chilly, wet days there at Xmas. Nice to
see my son for a few days, and eat Thai food!!!
.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you...!!!

Β I don't know what I do prefer: the bird?Β  the dead tree?Β  Doesn't the claw of the hawk look like a human hand?
Β  How to be here,on this lonely shore,, at the right moment???????????? I have never had this opportunity.....

I never got the bird thing. What I played on is the view of a person
with long hair, from mostly the back ~ even WITHOUT adding (in PhtoShp) the handcuffed hands
and arms of a Google Image. The head is tilted forward. So I went into the
political idea of Our New Government limiting immigration, etc etc. It's all
pretty subjective, as I now realize....I TRULY APPRECIATE your comments Clair!!!!

richard says THANKS!!!!

Β I wondered why you call thisΒ  "the drifter"... Now, effectively,Β  I'm obliged to discern the human outline...A figurehead?Β  I never saw the political symbol here. I'm afraid I do prefer the image of a wild lonely bird,in a motionless dark seascape.... Not extraordinary if you look back into your works....
Β My (poor) knowledge of the English language doesn't allow me to understand here " Drifter"....

NB. Where is the birdΒ  Tricias' talking about??

So nice to hear from you Ans. THANKS for the lovely comment!!!
The figure on the wood was amazingly already there. I just researched a
Google Image of a handcuffed individual, and the arms fit perfectly. You may have
missed the same figure/wood in my FIRST photo, thisΒ  time the figure is leaving the
strange building, lower left: THANKS:

Glad you like my lamb
