    I don't quite follow you, Dreamwoven, care to elaborate on that?

    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
    but I have promises to keep
    and miles to go before I sleep
    and miles to go before I sleep...

    Robert Lee Frost

    My association with your work about the birchwoods...
    I love nature a lot more than organisation... Even more than
    mankind, mother nature's rules will cut humanity down. God's will and nature's will
    are equal and the same thing at the end of societies... I pray and probably chant for nature's strongest rise of rage...

    There is plenty of organization - and entropy - in nature, which we are all a part of, too.

    I know what you mean. Perhabs pantheisme is a good way to experience this point of view.
    Thank you, North Star.

    At a glance, pantheism does look quite agreeable to me. In the end, I don't really see any point in constructing systems of belief for the metaphysical matters that science doesn't have definite answers for. I'd rather enjoy - and deal with - what there is than think too much about the unanswerable questions.

    Are they still the same water drops, NS? What made them look like small planets in a sky?

    If not the same drops, very similar ones. I assume you are referring to the blots created by the light reflected from the out-of-focus drops.

    I was walking down a trail today and looking at things like this:



    And because the sun was getting very bright and I was under a tree, I took this:



    And this:



    And I now wonder if I like the shadows on the ground better.

    In all three pictures, the contrast between the shadow and the light make the images. Very nice, YesNo.

    Shadows and light, nothing is much more interesting to photograph.


    Thread duty - an image from May last year, I did some cropping on the image now:

    The black and white contrast helps the shapes stand out. I like those ferns.

    Yes, the waterdrops of the glass.
