🇫🇷 Le papyrus est une plante des zones humides de la majeure partie de l'Afrique. ( 3 à 5 mètres de haut.) Elle est constituée d'une tige de section triangulaire supportant à son sommet des rayons disposés en étoile, qui constituent l'ombelle. De couleur vert jade, les rayons sont longs, fins et persistants. Certaines ombelles sont fertiles et portent des épillets bruns qui assurent la reproduction sexuée. Les autres sont stériles et contribuent à la photosynthèse qui assure la croissance. Dans l'Égypte antique le papyrus était utilisé pour fabriquer une forme de papier également dénommé papyrus .Ses fibres étaient utilisées aussi pour la fabrication de bateaux . Il se fabrique encore à notre époque , des pirogues en papyrus comme j’ai pu le voir en voyageant en Ethiopie : les tankwas sur le lac Tana là où le Nil Bleu reçoit sa source.

Papyrus is a plant found in wetlands in most of Africa (3 to 5 metres high), consisting of a triangular stem with star-shaped rays at the top, which form the umbel. The rays are jade green in colour, long, thin and persistent. Some umbels are fertile, bearing brown spikelets for sexual reproduction. Others are sterile and contribute to photosynthesis, which ensures growth. In ancient Egypt, papyrus was used to make a form of paper also known as papyrus, and its fibres were also used to make boats. Papyrus pirogues are still being made today, as I saw when travelling in Ethiopia: the tankwas on Lake Tana, where the Blue Nile has its source.

Papyrus ist eine Pflanze, die in den Feuchtgebieten des größten Teils Afrikas vorkommt ( 3 bis 5 Meter hoch). Sie besteht aus einem dreieckigen Stängel, der an seiner Spitze sternförmig angeordnete Strahlen trägt, die die Dolde bilden. Die jadegrünen Strahlen sind lang, dünn und ausdauernd. Einige Dolden sind fruchtbar und tragen braune Ährchen, die für die sexuelle Fortpflanzung sorgen. Die anderen sind steril und tragen zur Photosynthese bei, die für das Wachstum sorgt. Im alten Ägypten wurde Papyrus zur Herstellung einer Papierform verwendet, die auch als Papyrus bezeichnet wurde, und seine Fasern wurden auch für die Herstellung von Booten verwendet. Auch heute noch werden Einbäume aus Papyrus hergestellt, wie ich auf meiner Reise durch Äthiopien sehen konnte: die Tankwas auf dem Tanasee, wo der Blaue Nil entspringt.
🇪🇸 El papiro es una planta que se encuentra en los humedales de la mayor parte de África (de 3 a 5 metros de altura), formada por un tallo triangular con rayos en forma de estrella en la parte superior, que forman la umbela. Los radios son de color verde jade, largos, finos y persistentes. Algunas umbelas son fértiles y dan espiguillas marrones para la reproducción sexual. Otras son estériles y contribuyen a la fotosíntesis, que asegura el crecimiento. En el antiguo Egipto, el papiro se utilizaba para fabricar una forma de papel también conocido como papiro, y sus fibras también se empleaban para fabricar embarcaciones. Todavía hoy se fabrican piraguas de papiro, como pude comprobar viajando por Etiopía: las tankwas del lago Tana, donde nace el Nilo Azul.
🇮🇹Il papiro è una pianta presente nelle zone umide della maggior parte dell'Africa (alta da 3 a 5 metri), costituita da un fusto triangolare con raggi a forma di stella alla sommità, che formano l'ombrello. I raggi sono di colore verde giada, lunghi, sottili e persistenti. Alcune ombrelle sono fertili e portano spighette marroni per la riproduzione sessuale. Altre sono sterili e contribuiscono alla fotosintesi, che assicura la crescita. Nell'antico Egitto, il papiro era usato per produrre una forma di carta nota anche come papiro e le sue fibre erano utilizzate anche per costruire barche. Le piroghe di papiro vengono costruite ancora oggi, come ho visto durante un viaggio in Etiopia: le tankwas sul lago Tana, dove nasce il Nilo Azzurro.
The papyrus is a tall grassy sage of the Nile Valley. We have this plant growing in our backyard and my goal was to make this plant look like modern art. I chose to focus in on one green grassy leaf with a bokeh background. Hope you like it because this is not my usual capture.

Papyrus is a thick paper-like material produced from the pith of the papyrus plant, Cyperus papyrus, a wetland sedge that was once abundant in the Nile Delta of Egypt. Papyrus usually grows 2–3 meters (5–9 ft) tall, although it can reach 5 meters (15 ft). Papyrus is first known to have been used in ancient Egypt (at least as far back as the First dynasty), but it was also used throughout the Mediterranean region. Ancient Egypt used this plant for boats, mattresses, mats and paper.

About the process:
I increased the contrast by creating a B&W image with the channel mixer, in which I brightened the red level and darkened the blue. Then I overlaid the B&W on top of the original.
