If I was to show you a book on a specific topic, and it had details and photos to contribute to its distinct message to get across its topic clearly, and then I said that no one wrote this book, it just appeared out of nowhere, would that not be ridiculous, because you can tell by its structure etc that there was a mind behind its creation. Like wise but in a much more profound way the things we see in nature with its complexity and order, shows beyond any doubt the existence of a mind that's way beyond our finite understanding, yet clearly discernible by what's made.

The complexity of the Bee Hive structure at Kew Gardens

I know! Neither of those are actually words! How can that possibly be? ... Autumn with Ferns

Hermannus Boerhaave (1668-1738), great naturalist and director of the Hortus of Leiden, called this plant (1727) by a now disused name: Granadilla. His personal motto was 'Simplex sigillum veri', something like 'Simplicity is the hallmark of truth'. What he would have thought of the complicated symbolism of Jesuits in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with respect to this Passionflower, I don't know. It's called 'Passionflower' because in its flowering could be seen by the faithful the instruments of Jesus' Passion: the nails, the pillar, the whips and of course the triune pistil.

The Daintree Rainforest is a region on the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia, north of Mossman and Cairns. At around 1,200 square kilometres, the Daintree is a part of the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. The Daintree Rainforest is a part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland Rainforest, that spans across the Cairns Region. The Wet Tropics Rainforest (that the Daintree is a part of) is the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest in the world. Along the coastline north of the Daintree River, tropical forest grows right down to the edge of the sea. In 2009 as part of the Q150 celebrations, the Daintree Rainforest was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as a 'Natural attraction'. The tropical rainforest ecosystem of the Daintree Rainforest is one of the most complex on Earth. Its plant diversity and structural complexity is unrivaled on the Australian continent and represents the origins of other Australian flora. Millions of years ago, the Australian continent was warm and humid and rainfall was plentiful. During this time rainforest thrived in places such as the Uluru (Ayers Rock) region. As Australia became more arid, fewer and fewer places rainforests were able to survive. In the Daintree region, however, the climate and topography were ideal, so the area became a last remaining refuge for the rainforest. Within this refuge, many species were able to live comfortably without reason to change. Their descendants that are still living today retained many of their ancestors' primitive characteristics, some dating back 110 million years. One species in particular, Idiospermum australiense, commonly known as the idiot fruit, is one of the rarest and most primitive of the flowering plants. Its discovery in 1970 was arguably Australia's most significant botanical find, greatly increasing scientists awareness of just how ancient these forests really are. From a total of 19 primitive flowering plant families on Earth, 12 families are represented in the Daintree region making the highest concentration of these plants worldwide. These ancient plant families may be helpful for discerning the origins of the flowering plants. 22299

The almost fiber optic effect at the back of this Kingfishers head made us smile!

 

The wind was just enough to part the feathers. and it was interesting to see how the colour varied along each individual strand of hair. The same Kingfisher can look to have different coloring dependent on the light,, and this exquisite complexity is probably a major factor why

we recently camped in a wilderness area, where we canoed to our campsite. leaves fell from trees and landed in the water. i found this glowing leaf that appeared to be crying. life is complex. we hold many things in our hearts: grief and gratitude; anxiety and hope; dark and light; tears and laughter.

A complex autumnal scene taken on a damp grey morning stroll through Hillock Wood. I had to wait for the wind to die down before taking the shot as the branches were moving about a lot and I didn't have a lot of light, but it represents what I saw.

Orchids or orchidaceae are a family of monocotyledonous plants that are distinguished by the complexity of their flowers and the beauty they can have. Orchids are flowers that stand out for their bilateral symmetry. They all follow a common scheme and this anatomical shape is what helps us to identify an orchid from other plants: three sepals, three petals and the gymnostermum or column.

for Flickr Friday # knot

I am in Kuala Lumpur again this week, and guess what, I went to shoot the Petronas Towers again. It's a permanent quest to find new angles...For this one, I wanted a very geometric composition. The camera was on the non extended tripod, parallel to the ground. Took several shots (impossible to look in the viewfinder!), by slightly rotating the camera, checked the results on the LCD until I got the correct framing. Then I fired the seven auto bracketed shots.

 

Technique used: Smart Objects mixed with Digital Blending/Layer Masking. 7 exposures used. This is not a tone mapped HDR. I am pretty sure that tone mapping won't give me those color tones.

This was taken in March at a bird reserve in Cambridge. I just love the complex tracery of the branches.

 

For the Crazy Tuesday group's Silhouette theme.

 

Silhouette is a word I struggle to spell. Why not write it silohoot? I know it's French, but just remember Agincourt OK? [Our hapless commentator ducks and runs...]

 

Converted to B&W and toned for my 100x challenge...

 

Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Crazy Tuesday and 100x. :)))

  

Dedicated to Catness Grace and Paul Ewing for sparking the idea.
