Sha Tin, Hong Kong - June 23rd, 2011
Un-retouched and shot under a blackening, post-typhoon sky.
I've become entranced by the thready filaments and almost prehistoric beauty of banyan trees.
I'll add more until the inspiration falls away or I find a greater temptation to explore.
Edited SDO image (one of the most famous it has taken) of a huge filament from the sun, several years ago. Color/processing variant.
"In fiber optic illusion
The flickering eyes
By flourescent lights
Supplicate before machines,
Self-reflecting
The legend of modernity:
The phosphenes explode
God's eternal strobe
Through the holy filament,
Graven image"
