What Strange Terrain Is This?

Shot from beneath, afternoon sun coming through mini-blinds stripes this Tree Philodendron leaf (Philodendron Selloum) . While it appears very vibrant green from beneath, the top side shown in the uncropped original version is decidely less exciting. Other than cropping, this photo was left as shot from the camera. It is also available on RB in a black and white version entitled, Shadow Play.

Winner of Bubble Jeopardy challenge: Naturally Green!! My first RB challenge win. Yowsa! To all my fellow Bubble Jeopardy players, thanks so much for all your guesses and votes on this one!!! Best, deanne

    Palm leaf with light & shadow of another.

  • morphingdreams replied

    Close—it’s definitely a leaf. What kind and what shadow? Hmmm.

  • Stuart Thorpe

    Stuart Thorpe

    I don’t really care what it is. A fantasy, a dream in movement, pattern, light and shadow…love it.

  • morphingdreams replied

    Exactly how I feel—an interpretation is more interesting than details. Thanks Stuart.

  • morphingdreams replied

    Um no. I’ll have to check out elephant leaves, I’m not familiar with them. But it is a leaf.

    What are venetian blind’s shadow on leaf, not sure of what kind of leaf, but maybe a banana leaf?

  • morphingdreams replied

    Ah, good! Yep the shadow is of mini-blinds. Some of us till have those silly dust catchers! A leaf yes, but not a banana leaf. Ummm, I’m not sure if it matters. Thanks for the guess!
