Window to the Soul

Window to the Soul by Kathie Nichols

Window to the Soul

Macro photograph from an Australian paperbark tree. This was taken late in the afternoon with my camera set on apperture priority!

I am passionate about macro photography, I love to find art in the paperbark tree and rocks. Sometimes I find a miniature landscape hidden in the bark of a tree. The melaleuca tree is one of my most photographed tree barks.

    Invert the image…splice them together, add in some nostrils and a mouth and you have a painted tribal warrior…round the edges of course to shape a skull. I’d have a lot of fun with this Kathie. Nice piece!

    We stood mesmerised by the stare of this native warrior, knowing he was armed & dangerous & quite capable of causing us grave harm. Yet the beauty & mystery of his tribal face painting was so hypnotic…. Sorry Kathie I couldn’t resist. This is a stunning study which I am sure you saw as a face. I just have to add this to my Fav’s

    A wonderful abstract….I agree wholeheartedly with you Kathy….there is so much abstraction within nature. I particularly love aerial views of the ground….Micro?....macro? It’s all fascinating isn’t it?
