Deep Canopy

This image shows how my brain works. Several days ago I uploaded an image called “Crown Fire”. That same tree appears here in the lower left of the image. In the description of “Crown Fire” I said:

“Man ‘o man, you should have been there! Hoo-haa!!! The Sky, the Sun, the Cool Sea of Air. That bold life’s creation standing in front of me and above me, swaying ever so slightly in the waning rays of that late autumn day. That tree told me to look out across the hills through a blue so deep that Earth’s own curvature and the infinite depth of empty space lapped easily at the doorstep of our thin atmospheric blanket, while the quietly raging Sun Blazed as though to fill the void with its tenuous light.”

My own description was in fact the very process of creation, because that vision came to me AS the words were flowing onto the page. That is the closest you will ever come to seeing the creative process. This image is simply the result of creating something that matched that vision in some small way.

“Deep Canopy” was featured in the Earth Keepers group, August 2009.

    When it finally all caem together, I said YES, just like in the movies. Sometimes I don’t really know where I am going and these things just suddenly appear. Amazing. Glad you like it.

    Gorgeous sky and colours! Fantastic work.

  • Dave Martsolf replied

    Hi shell! I can see at your bubble that you have some beautiful skies there in Australia as well. While my effort used a Hubble photo to remove ALL the air, I had an opportunity to go out in a boat in the hinterlands of New Hampshire and I swear the stars there were almost as vast and innumerable as in “Deep Canopy”. Glad you liked it. – Dave
