"I sit alone in the shadowy bamboo grove, Playing the zither and whistling long. In this deep wood no one would know - Only the bright sun comes to shine" ~ Bamboo Adobe by Wang Wei
Facing away from the sun and towards a stand of bamboo from under a fir tree. The nearby lake reflects the trees in that eerie way IR has. Again, there is nice contrast between detail and motion blur. ----- Some Bamboo Haikus: the lacy, windswept shoot a sky reaches near a tall bamboo a young night the mountain smells on bamboo graceful, tall the windy, green mountain the water flexes between the mystical forest a curved, silent cloud a star blows near a cherished river a lonely spirit her long arm bends past culm young, cherished ----- Please click "zoom in" to see it full size, if you don't have that set as your preference.

Always also delicious and poetic for the eye!
Wonderful image. Great haiku. Thanks!
Bravo!, Kort! Well done!
(shaking head in fascination)! Great image and verse.
Hmm I am thinking this might be how Florida really looks in the morning (with the freeze watches and all) :-) These shots are fascinating!
Would you stop messing with your avatar?? I can't keep track of you...argh! Men! Anyhoo....another excellent shot and effects of this beautiful park. Beautifully framed!
Excellent again and your words are so poetic . . .
beautiful b&W shot perfect ilustration of your words.
I'd call this photIRgraphy. Its best to use IR during hot days (Infrared is heat, well kinda.)
Wow, like one of those deceptive openings for The Outer Limits where the scene appears serene and all is right with the world but it only exists in another dimension... Great shot.
The more I see Infrared shots, the more I love them ! This Bamboo forest has something magic with these colors, everything is so soft... I love that !
This is gorgeous! I do so like infra-red, it makes everything look really eerie. Great shot!
