Twisted Sisters
This image shows two seed heads from an Aquilegia (columbine) plant - the petals of this variety twist as the flower dries.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Pick Two' (twisted plant).
The image is an homage to Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932). His lifelong interest was plants, and as an enthusiastic amateur photographer, he took his pictures using a home-made wooden camera; he then used the images as a teaching aid in the drawing classes he gave at the Berlin College of Art. Despite his crude equipment (by today's standards), he produced iconic botanical images showing exquisite details of plant architecture.
