These Polygonum Scoparium resembled the screen shot of the movie The Matrix with a bit of imagination of course.
Taken at the Melbourne Botanical Gardens.
Polygonum scoparium is an unassuming plant which sits quietly amongst more showy neighbours for much of the year, but in autumn it brings late season flower and scent to the garden.
An evergreen perennial with glaucous, cylindrical and whippy stems to 90 cm in height, it resembles the horsetails.
Dainty white, five-petalled flowers are borne along the length of the stems in late summer and autumn.
A native of Corsica and Sardinia, it enjoys a warm, dry and well-drained position in alkaline soils.
P. scoparium is a member of the rhubarb family, Polygonaceae.

"Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without" - quote from The Matrix
....and such the true words at times when there is so much misinformation about Covid-19.
"What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?"
" No Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready... you won't have to."
"The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now in this very room"
Thank's to keep support me !

What a messed up summer here at home. Another rainy day and no chance to get ouside for some shooting. So why not playing around again with the stuff that`s inside the house ? Thought i go again for another trial for some reflections this afternoon. Here you go - i call it "Blurry Matrix" :)
Thank you for your visits, comments and favs!

Matrix Island is a boat moored in St Katharine Docks, London. Its the only boat I've seen that has a children's trampoline so close to the edge of the deck.
Unter einer Matrix versteht man in unserer Kultur meist eine rechteckige Fläche, die in beliebig viele gleichgroße Zellen unterteilt ist.
Laut Wikipedia geht der Begriff Matrix auf das
altgriechische μέτρα (metra) oder das
spätlateinische matrix zurück und bedeutete
ursprünglich Gebärmutter, Gebärerin, die
folgende Eigenschaften hat: umgebend,
umfassend, ernährend, versorgend,
beschützend, fruchtbar, gebärend und
verbergend.
Die Matrix scheint unsere gesamte Existenz zu bestimmen. Jeder von uns entspringt einer mütterlichen Matrix. Doch schon im Kindesalter werden wir mit logischen Matrixstrukturen konfrontiert.
Ein beliebtes Spielzeug für Kleinkinder: ein Kasten mit 16 Würfeln. Auf den 6 Flächen dieser Würfel befinden sich jeweils Ausschnitte von Märchenbildern. Werden die Würfel in der richtigen Reihenfolge zu einer quadratischen Matrix angeordnet, dann ergibt sich eines der insgesamt 6 möglichen Märchenbilder. Auch Puzzles sind im Grunde Matrixstrukturen.
Die gigantischste - und ab dem frühen Jugendalter nicht mehr aus unserem Leben wegzudenkende Matrix ist das Internet. Hier begegnen wir dem Prinzip in virtueller Form. Und viele Menschen im Zeitalter des w.w.w. fragen sich: Was ist überhaupt noch Realität?
Beim Betrachten des fotografierten Gebäudes stellte sich mir unwillkürlich die gleiche Frage...
Für mich wirkt es, als sei es lediglich in die Landschaft projiziert ;-))

Lloyd's of London
I was very happy about being offered access to this fascinating building by a very nice man, who was willing to show me proudly around his workplace and tell me all about it. :-)
Lloyd's of London is a marketplace where brokers and underwriters come together to buy and sell insurance. It’s not an insurance company but a meeting place where brokers buy insurance on their clients’ behalf from underwriters. Much of the business is conducted in the world-famous Underwriting Room, which welcomes more than 5000 people, sees GBP 100m in premiums come into the market and GBP 82.1m paid out in claims every single day.
Lloyd’s is known for its innovation and willingness to insure unusual risks. The market has covered Arctic explorers, international aid organisations, satellite launches and taken on major global risks including cyber, terrorism and the consequences of climate change. And on a January morning in 1912, it insured the Titanic for GBP 1m.
