I am enjoying this theme. It gives the opportunity to play with textures and light. And it is not photography any more but image making. Image making using technology and my imagination.  And these images are about a return to life and warmth, a new hope after despair and tribulation. The  Sun is shining again and warming poor wet Gaia; and she will revive and bring forth life again. The vortex is my way of expressing energy. And this image started as a photo in Botswana again. Why Botswana. Because I was there, and there were wetlands and sunsets and much material for these images. The originals are nice sunsets yet, in a subject I will return to at a later date, the trouble with sunset photos is that no matter how good yours is, there is always someone with a better one, But as a base for your imagination you get a beautiful colour palette with which to start. Imagine away!
