Oleaginous (Part 6)

A small swirl of oil in the lake behind my office. 

Oleaginous (Part 5)

A single oil droplet dispersing in the rain soaked concrete of the gas station.

When I got my new car I thought my “Oleaginous” series was over but I found this lovely leak under another car in a Target parking lot. 

Oleaginous (Part 3)

My 1997 Nissan died for the last time early in January 2015. It was my first car and I rode it for thirteen years.  The 230,000 miles were a testament to its toughness. One persistent problem was the oil leak and as annoying as it was I couldn't help but turn it into art. 

Oleaginous (Part 2)

The rain brings out the beauty of the oil leak in my car. 

...Like glimmering peacock feathers. 

...Like a raging forest fire whirling across the tree tops. 

...Like a cosmic burst of radiation dissipating out into the universe.

Oleaginous

A slight drizzle and an oil leak can turn my driveway into an earthbound aurora borealis. 

That leak infuriates me until it dazzles the concrete with toxic colors.
