Don, I really like the lines, shapes, and muted colour gradations here - very interesting, to me.
Definitely a “keeper”!

Thanks, Sandy.

The complexity of the patterns in this image is really interesting, Don. Without reading you’re obscured text, this looks like a double exposure to me and I think you picked two great ones to blend and did a superb job of it. I keep finding more interesting textures and patterns as I look at it.

Thanks, Dennis. I enjoyed the interview with you in Nature Vision.

Thanks, Don.

Cubism - that’s my initial reaction. I keep wanting to rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise though.

Igor - I craned my neck to look at it sideways, and I agree! Better impact if horizontal! Good call…

I don’t want to be responsible for any sore necks.

I could go either way on the orientation. Cubism occurred to me as well.
