Deep South WA, Feb ‘25 (#22 in series: Porongurup “5”, with musical bonus)

 

 

This post’s forest floor “natural abstract” was photographed a couple of minutes later than was the “5” Porongurup image.

Their locations were only a few footsteps distant from each other.

One of the world’s greater guitarists has (unwitttingly) provided a sublime musical accompaniment..

An enormous amount of growing, shedding, living and dying, goes on in any forest, however “eternal” or “peaceful” it may appear to a visiting human.

Animals move and munch,.

Winds rage, rustle and ebb.

Rain drips, pours, hails, or it falls not at all, for “too long”…

Inevitably, a lovely “natural abstract” on a forest floor has a shorter “shelf-life” than even the most piffling example of trend-chasing/cashing contemporary “art”.

Musical bonus

Julian Lage played electric guitar on the debut recording of his “Nocturne”. (on his 2016 trio album Arclight)
