I wasn't going to post this version, but after reading my dear friend William's comment at my previous upload, I decided it would be interesting to see what my friends thoughts will be for this one, too ;))

"LA PENTE DE LA RÊVERIE" (V. HUGO) : Titre proposé par "napoleon-83400" ;-)

VICTOR HUGO

1802 - 1885 .

"La pente de la rêverie

Amis , ne creusez pas vos chères rêveries ;

Ne fouillez pas le sol de vos plaines fleuries ;

Et quand s' offre à vos yeux un océan qui dort ,

Nagez à la surface ou jouez sur le bord .

Car la pensée est sombre ! Une pente insensible

Va du monde réel à la sphère invisible ;

La spirale est profonde , et quand on y descend ,

Sans cesse se prolonge et va s'élargissant ,

Et pour avoir touché quelques énigmes fatales ,

De ce voyage obscur souvent on revient pâle !

...

Oh ! cette double mer du temps et de l' espace

Où le navire humain passe et repasse ,

je voulus la sonder , je voulus en toucher

Le sable , y regarder , y fouiller , y chercher ,

Pour vous en rapporter quelque richesse étrange ,

Et dire si son lit est de roche ou de fange .

Mon esprit plongea donc sous ce flot inconnu ,

Au profond de l' abîme il nagea seul et nu ,

Toujours de l'ineffable allant à l'invisible ...

Soudain il s' en revint avec un cri terrible ,

Ébloui , haletant , stupide , épouvanté ,

Car il avait au fond trouvé l' éternité ."

As mentioned in a comment on a previous photo in the series, these are generally pictures taken straight down on a grey cement floor. Colors appear during post-processing that depend in part on processing choices and in part on the quality of interior and exterior light on the scene. It didn't look like this when I saw it.

Thanks very much to all for the positive comments!

For Macro Mondays 28DEC15: Redux 2015--My Favorite Theme of the Year. This is for the Abstract in Macro theme.

These bubbles formed after leaving cold water in a small flat bottle. As the water warmed to room temperature, nitrogen and oxygen slowly came out of solution, with tiny bubbles forming and coalescing at sites of microscopic imperfections on the glass (www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-bubbles-form-if-a/). I put white tissue paper about 6 inches behind the bottle and backlit with a flashlight. This was shot at 1:1 and slightly cropped.

Thanks for viewing and Happy Final Macro Monday of 2015!

today, for a few moment was the sun light here. I see some shadows and quickly and in hurry i take some shots, before the grey clouds say us hello again.!! ;

But they are very hot when you eat them.

Playing with my stairs-photo 'Different' (see first comment box), to create Abstract 2.

Used that photo 4 times and enhanced the colors.

Happy Weekend ;-))
