Something I read in maori star-lore somewhere. I can't remember which. The path of the sun gets closer to it as the days get longer. I haven't found any references yet to who the woman over the land is that wintering represents. Anyw ys thing are hotting up here. Toetoe flowers budding. bit tooo pixellated at present
Just out of curiosity (that admittedly killed the cat ;-)) ... "The path of the sun gets closer to it as the days get longer." ??? It gets closer to what, Ian? What is that "it"?
Anyway the image has a great light, which might be "confusing" with all the reflections, difractions, shines and sparks, but it is exactly that "confusion" that makes one wanting to look a bit longer until the state of contemplation settles in. It is then that one doesn't ask anymore for anything but just looks. And during that looking a strange kind of acceptance of the reality occurs, that might only exist in mind. (Perhaps the same as smoking some hallucinogen ;-))
I can't say if they are toetoe flowers (what are they?) - perhaps it is a primitive crowd with spears, or anything else that suggestive thinking might produce. This idefinite kind of perception that this image causes, taken together with that light, is enough to say that it is special. It could have been genius, it could have been also diletantism. And so I can't rate it. I can only look at it.
