Musings on Eleven
On Monday Jamie gave us a passage from the Lao Tsu Tao Te Ching's teachings. They concentrated on the space within planting/ sculpture/ trees etc.
Recently I've been distracted by the different shade canopies of trees and the fact that some trees give an overwhelming and slightly claustrophobic canopy and others give a gentle feeling of shelter, particularly Birch, Beech and Catalpa.
This image of a self seeded nigella in the pathway would not be so dynamic if it weren't for the shadow it sets and the gaps in the Yorkstone paving. The thin leaves with the shaded background also adds to this.
So if you see a pensive student under a tree, you'll know why. Ching's Eleven.

Continuing on from this I'm reminded of a shot I took during the Paris trip in my first year.
