This is smoke from a backflow incense cone. According to Google "backflow incense cones work by using a hollow tunnel through the center that directs smoke downwards, creating a waterfall effect as the smoke cools, becomes denser than air, and sinks through the burner's channels."
I had to turn the heater off in my house, because the least little breeze blew the smoke all over the place. It was fun.
This picture covers an area that is 2.25 inches by 3 inches.

"The kind of seed sown
will produce that kind of fruit.
Those who do good will reap good results.
Those who do evil will reap evil results.
If you carefully plant a good seed,
You will joyfully gather good fruit."

happy bokeh wednesday!
With IPhone camera set in panorama mode, I started waving it wildly at the mirrored glass doors in front of me. Except for the watercolor effect (waterlogue app), this is how it came out of the camera.
It has been a rainy day, so I spent a little time with Photoshop trying an effect I've been wanting to attempt. I'm not at all knowledgeable about PS but I found a tutorial that walks you through a sketch effect and tried it out on the monochrome Carolina wren image from a couple weeks back. Not bad for a first attempt, especially considering I can't draw to save my life!
I've seen a fair few of these and thought I'd try my hand at one. First attempt and it's a little 'brown' for my tastes.
Great fun and really easy to do. Big thanks to everyone making lockdown videos of how to do these type of effects.

Firmly in the category of 'things you never knew before lockdown.'
When I took this shot, it was the tunnelling effect up and through the forest that had me mesmerized. So much so, that I was standing on a fallen tree over the stream to capture it. I remember thinking how unusually flat the tree had become. And thinking that standing on it would be ok. However, it was narrow and for this photographer, dangerous.
With great regard for safety, short and careful movements were the order of the moment. Looking before stepping was a must. In all, it seemed worth the challenge, and another image was captured. Days later I started my next walk much higher from this spot. Then, walked down the hill side to this same area. It is always interesting to me how the time of day can change the appearance of the same landscape, but this moment best captured the scene.
"A ripple effect occurs when an initial disturbance to a system propagates outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system, like ripples expanding across the water when an object is dropped into it."
This is not just a duck in a pond at sunset. It is a symbol of a phenomenon that we have all experienced directly in 2020. At one level the COVID-19 virus spread from one part of the world to everywhere very quickly like ripples on a pond. But not just the virus. The follow on effects of lock downs, loss of freedoms, jobs, security, pressure on medical systems, collapsing economies, all point to the ripple effect.
But ripple effects are not all bad either. In fact the same principle can lead to rapid solutions and even the healing of the world's woes. If we can find a way to create positive solutions to enhance the eco-system of our planet things can get better. But the choice is ours.
A theory that small actions can lead to large changes, positive or negative.
