Open Thread: Circles of Light in Trees


You know how it is when you see something and, even though you know you must have seen it before (time after time, too many times to count, for your whole life) it's as though you're seeing it for the first time and its completely amazing?

That happened on Monday.  I was walking home on cold December night, probably a bit more than halfway through the two hour walk, and it was all rather boring and mundane with each moment fading into the next in a dull monotony.

And then the world was made of concentric circles of light (reflected off of branches.)

I have to have seen this phenomenon countless times before because it requires very little to achieve, but I can't recall ever really noticing it before.  And it was magical.

Photographing it well, though, has proven more difficult.

Friday Recommendations!  What have you been reading/writing/listening to/playing/watching lately?  Shamelessly self-promote or boost the signal on something you think we should know about - the weekend’s ahead of us, so give us something new to explore!

And, like on all threads: please remember to use the "post new comment" feature rather than the "reply" feature, even when directly replying to someone else!
