These images are moving further and further towards the surreal, they are more and more intriguing. A 🙂

It’s probably still that absence of scale. I’m glad you are intrigued, Adrian. This effect has been sort of accidental.

I am loving these black white pieces and especially the perspective on this one. Very surreal and poetic.

Thank you, Clare. If you look closer, you may be able to notice that—except for the first one in this series—these photographs are in color; it’s just a subtle palette of black, white, grey, and brown. As for the perspective, I think that’s what makes these look surreal to you and Adrian. I took the photos from a bridge over a small swamp that occasionally turns into a pond. For this photograph I leaned over a rail and shot almost straight down. The twigs covered a width of about five feet, maybe even less.

And from on high! That was a good idea! Ah, I see, from a bridge. No drone, huh?

No; no drone, though another friend thought one might be involved here.
