The Balancing Act

For the Smile on Saturday challenge "dice only"

The instructions are: "no other gamepieces or even other objects on the photo for that theme... ONLY DICE"

 

I didn't have any dice at all in the house ... so I went online to see if there were any dice that might attract me ... and found a small set of Dungeons and Dragons dice that looked really interesting and colourful too. They arrived on Thursday ... no time to look at them or play with them before I needed to shoot them. So I simply piled them up and took some shots.

Looking at the results I was struck by the numbers, the many facets, and the precarious balances. These dice got me thinking .... the precarious balances of nature that we are disturbing, the numbers of species that are vanishing from the planet, our carbon footprints, the greenhouse effect, global warming. All measured in numbers. We measure our impact, and try to keep the planet in balance. So I decided to use the sky as my background, to hint at some of these ideas. Or maybe they are just slightly crazy dice after all ;o)

 

HSoS!! and a great weekend to all ;o)
