I love the way form and image are repeated in nature, yet each copy is lightly askew of the previous one...like the way the meaning of words shifts through synonyms...
hello technobabe, yes. the top two pictures were taken in full-sunlight. the bottom two in low light. the rock on the pei shore has a brownish-red colour to it as does much of the soil. here's what i know. pei was formed a long time ago on sedimentary bedrock of soft, red sandstone, which produces the red soil. what you see in these photographs is the sandstone actually flaking away. in fact if you step on the edges they break off they are that brittle. you can carve into it as well! steven
I turned the bottom photo sideways- it looks like the rain that pours down our window in the muted light of the season. Also thank you so much for your brilliant comment on opposites! Awesome and well said! Cheers!

ReplyDeleteAre these the natural colors of the rock and water? Such deep colors.
