A sunrise such as this is a rare event. Good fortune found me in one of favourite spots that morning. A primeval atmosphere seems to pervade the image. One could imagine a similar scene millions of years ago.
NYX was the goddess of the night, one of the ancient Protogenoi (first-born elemental gods). In the cosmogony of Hesiod she was born of Air (Khaos), and breeding with Darkness (Erebos) produced Light (Aither) and Day (Hemera), first components of the primeval universe. Alone, she spawned a brood of dark spirits, including the three Fates, Sleep, Death, Strife and Pain. / / Nyx was a primeval goddess usually represented as simply the substance of night: a veil of dark veil of mist drawn forth from the underworld which blotted out the light of Aither (shining upper atmosphere). Her opposite number was Hemera (Day), who scattered the mists of night, or Eos, the goddess of the dawn. / / In ancient art Nyx was portrayed as a either a winged goddess or charioteer, sometimes crowned with an aureole of dark mist.

This pine forest really felt very primeval today with a super growth of lichen on the trees, and the mist rolling in. I liked the contrast that the fresh fern provided in this image.

watercolor painting 15” x 19” on Arches paper This painting is based on a photo I took of Rossport recently during a sunrise. / It somehow reminded me of how ancient and primitive the landscape north of Lake Superior can appear. / In fact, the Canadian Shield is one of the oldest landscapes on Earth, and this painting depicts where the boreal forest meets the largest freshwater lake in the world.

This was taken from the same Palm Tree as my ‘Storm Rider’ photograph but further down the tree. I feel it has an ancient primitve feel to it with wonderful textures making a great nature bark abstract. Took this around noon it was a little cloudy making it ideal for the lighting! Macro photography of tree bark is my passion. I am always on the look out for different species of trees. Such a wondrous variety of textures and colours that Mother Nature has hidden. I like to find abstract landscapes or abstract art in my macro photography inviting the viewer closer whilst creating intrigue and atmosphere.

Taken twelve months ago in the Blue Mountains, it is one of those ‘rescue’ jobs where I suspect black and white gives more character than the original colour version. Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM
This image represents a kind of portal between realities that may actually exist beyond ‘merely’ artistic imagination. If not, then it’s a small part of a forest floor in a tropical place.
