About Me
- Name: Solo
"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."

Wow! Some spectacular stuff here.
Some of this cries out for words of explanation? Artists notes. That magnificent blue feather - was it from a peacock? Some other bird? 140 nanometers is presumably a light wavelength, I'm guessing that of the deep blue? Perhaps give a common name for that cabbage?
The illuminated clouds seem to speak pretty much for themselves and they say quite a lot.
Nice work!

Thanks, Eye.
Yes, my vagueness was intentional but not necessarily artistically sound.
The feather is indeed from a peacock and '140 nanometres' is derived from a scientific study attempting to determine how peacock feathers display their vibrant hues. Among many other findings, the study notes that "...peacock feathers are composed of many barbules... The blue regions in the barbules were found to have a melanin cylinder spacing of about 140 nm."
The cabbage is indeed a cabbage. Specifically, it's a decorative kale growing in my Mother's garden.
The clouds, like you stated, are just that. I found 'Ersatz Vortex' intriguing in that I watched it transform, due to extremely high winds at altitude, from a 'normal' cloud into a pseudo-lenticular shape. Kinda neat.
Your life gives me hope.
