    Oh wow butch – this totally gets to me.. like some unknown abyss you’ve managed to capture visually… the way the natural overlays work are so cool here (cause I know this is a shot straight out of the camera) – the way the light moves, through what looks like cloud, water and trees is just insane… Really LOVE this! Superb work.

    What is this parralell world like? Is it magical, natural, a world of free spirits and natrual adoration? I can only hope that such places exisit. The imaginative possibilities here are endless and they all include you i there somewhere.

    It’s a beautiful photo, full of life. If only we had puddles to have reflections like that.

    This is cool, makes you stop and look again, and again, love your description too, growing up we had a bathroom with 2 wall mirrors facing eachother, so you could stand between and see the reflected reflections as they curved away to infinity; but there was always that spot where they curved around a corner, I still think that’s a real place but still don’t know how to reach it. Parallel universes attract me!

  • butchart replied

    syd…. i love your mirror story…. i’ve always been fascinated with what you described….. i love when i get the opportunity to see mirrors like that…..... parallel universes are wonderful to look for don’t you think….. thank you so much…...b

    These are the three images I missed in these past days that I’ve been saying I wanted to stop and see – and comment on how much I love them. This upside down world – of puddles, or streams, or lakes – takes us into ourselves, into the deeper reaches of both the mud and the bottoms but always reflects back both our own image and the light from within and without that is our vision. Breathtaking – simply breathtaking.
