Faffing with double exposure for my get-pushed challenge from Annie which is 'Fibres' The long fibrous leaves of the Harakeke plant that grow along the shore here disintegrate in the washing machine tides and lie bleaching on the rocks . It was called flax ( recalling the Linen or flax plant from Britain. ) by the Settlers because the fibres of the plant when processed can be used for making Ropes etc. Maori made their clothing with it before that and call the fibres Muka.
inspired by these lines from the Moorlough Shore sung by Sinead OÇonnor ( may she rest in peace. )
Where the linen waves like bleaching silk
And the falling stream runs still
Near there I spent my youthful days
But alas they all are gone
A fascinating description and your image fits it well. Thank you for the YouTube clip of Sinead O'Connor singing. I hadn't heard or seen that before! It was beautiful and may she rest in peace.
A bit late, but not forgotten ... your challenge is to try some lens flare. Hope that works and you have some sunshine to play with. If not, let me know and I'll set another challenge.
@aecasey fingers crossed! there is snow on the hills behind my house at present, lets hope the sun comes out soon, if not can do lens flare with night lights i suppose
