Abstract Impressions
View allAll Photos Tagged Abstract
We are experiencing a particularly hot summer this year. No wonder this Elkhorn Fern's outer fronds are dried and discolored.
Elkhorn ferns (also called Staghorn ferns) are ‘epiphyte’, meaning that they grow on tree branches and trunks naturally. They can grow fairly large, although they require at least 10 years to achieve their maximum size.
These plants make two types of fronds. The shield, or sterile fronds, wrap around the tree or rock on which the plant is growing. These shields usually form a basket which collects debris, providing a medium for root growth, and aiding in moisture collection and retention. The fertile, or normal fronds, grow out from the bud, and the spores are borne on these. Some species make fertile fronds much like the antler of a deer. Others are nearly round, or wedge shaped.
The surface of the pond was covered in a reticulated pattern, but the ice was clear and you could see the coloured vegetation beneath the surface. Here and there, were these perfectly formed little round pockets of air trapped beneath the surface ...
Have a good week, everyone.
There is something to this picture...
the creative as tied to the imaginary, the imaginary derived from the imagination,
the imagination derived,at its core, from the image , always a visual.
We live in a sighted world it is, after all, considered the primary sense.
And make no mistake
We can see clear ......but we can also dream !

"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 ."
(Better on Black)

"There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality."
Quote - Pablo Picasso
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!

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 ;-))
