Out of the strange, wilderness places,
with cries to the nothingness and prayers to golden calves,
through the courtyard of denial,
with your very own tourist memorabilia
(what do you do with 30 pieces of silver?),

until you come to something more,
a different place,
to that most misused of words



hope



what lies ahead?
for the moment, I'll take today.

ok, so what is that photo of?

take a guess and I'll tell you if you're close :)

it looks like some sort of glass window pattern - looking through to the green of a tree behind it??

or, it could be an old piece of silver, tarnished...hmmm, you have me thinking... :)

Andrew said...

first guess was pretty close, well the tree bit anyway. No glass window involved. Tree moss from Parramatta park. amped up the moss colour, turned the rest negative to give it that silver feel and them mucked around with the contrast. But I like the tarnished silver idea...
