Primitive Methodist Chapel in the heart of the Forest of Dean, captured in IR.

Il pasto del sangue è un rito effettuato dai Surma o Suri e tramandato da migliaia di anni che normalmente praticano giornalmente: alcuni giovani immobilizzano un bue od una mucca, mentre un ragazzo stringe un cordone intorno al collo dell’animale in modo da mettere in evidenza le vene ed un altro, armato di arco e freccia, presa la mira, scaglia con precisione il dardo praticando un piccolo foro nella giugulare.
Una volta estratta la freccia il sangue, che esce a zampilli, verrà immediatamente raccolto in una zucca svuotata.
Viene prelevato solo quello necessario a nutrire i presenti, per non indebolire inutilmente il bestiame, e non ne verrà sprecata neppure una goccia.
Con un impasto di sterco e fango viene tamponata la ferita dell’animale perché smetta di sanguinare e poi viene liberato.
I ragazzi si accovacciano in cerchio, passandosi la ciotola, dopo averne bevuto a turno il contenuto. Spesso sputano e arricciano il naso, probabilmente per il sapore aspro del sangue.
Oltre ad integrare la dieta quotidiana, si crede che il pasto del sangue renda più forti i giovani Surma o Suri.
Alla base di questo rito vi è un profondo rispetto nei confronti dell’animale, da parte dell’intera tribù, che lo considera un’importante fonte di ricchezza e pertanto non dovrà per alcuna ragione essere ucciso.
I Surma si proteggono dagli insetti spargendosi sul corpo della cenere, inoltre si disinfettano con l'urina delle mucche.

Created for Hypothetical Awards' Digital Art From a Blank Canvas challenge.
This started as a colored rectangle on a white background layer. I distorted the rectangle using the smudge tool in Photoshop until I had an amoeba-like shape. (I wanted softer edges than the liquefy tool would have produced.) I then added two more distorted rectangles on separate layers (one of which you can see below) and changed the blend mode for all to Difference.
I changed the background white to a complementary color and combined all the layers. I then used the Hue/Saturation tool to play with colors until the original blues and greens became what you see above. The texture in the green/brown sections came from super-saturating the green hues.
At that point, I was very tempted to use FilterForge to produce all kinds of spectacular morphs, but I resisted the temptation ... almost: I used it to texture the background and add the vignette.
The result is a fairly simplistic, but colorful, abstract.
