four cauls, two suns

[OT from cottage renovations]

note:

during this time off I have resolved to try (other than while traveling) for a daily image posting.  out of consideration to subscribers I will no longer be posting links to each day's image to the Grove's listserv (it's considered bad form to spam Yahoo! groups for blog readership) but will send a weekly summary for those who prefer periodic reminders in that form.  for a selective view into this journal, containing only image posts in this series, see:     www.livejournal.com/~15_the_circle/tag/grovescape.

Upper Field

the field has an abundance of cauls.  they come in a variety of colours and surface textures. 

---

morning and midday had an abundance of full sun, but by mid afteroon overcast had set in.  cameras are like human eyes: you aren't supposed to point them directly into the Sun.  under these atmospheric conditions it was possible to do just that, capturing both sun and backlit treeline. 

in these images the solar disc was magnified by light scatter to about four times its size as actually observed.
