I was exploring some new areas near my house this past weekend where they have created a new hiking / mountain bike trail through my woods. I don’t know where my mind was, but I was seeing shapes that were everything but what the real object was. And yet, I wasn’t under the influence of any mind altering substances! So in these images, I couldn’t let my imagination get away from the idea that these abstract macro’s resembled ancient Egypt depictions of a sun god.

Hey, Mark -
Interesting… In “Path to Ra,” I myself see Horus as both hawk & solar eye… Not sure what I would have seen had I just come across this in the woods!
Thanks for sharing these!

Interesting images, Mark. I especiallz like the first one. I see a hawk or an eagle floating in it with all the “cracks” leading mz eyes to it. They give a sense of motion and speed to the photo. Beautiful warm colours as well.
These are cool Mark. I like it when we see the unseen and especially without mind altering substances. In fact nature provides that naturally.
Thanks guys.
The patterns and colors are beautiful.
thank you!!
I understand the feeling, it has happened to me. Sometimes my eyes seek only shapes and textures.
This is exactly what I was referring to in my last comment…. definitely, an artistic eye!
