Through a Glass Darkly

Sometimes it is hard for us to see beyond the present
It may even be difficult to see the present
We may find ourselves lost
With a distorted vision of life
Living in a distorted world
Viewing the world through a dark glass...

Nice picture - now could you do another one of the same tree through rose-tinted spectacles?

It could make all the difference in the world!

Either way it might make an interesting study (photographically and otherwise!)

I'd be interested to view the comparison

  I'll have a go and see what I can come up with. It may have to wait until later in the day though as I've couple of things I really must do this morning.

    Thank you - another idea
    
    What about a collage (*Andy Warhol type?) of the picture in a few different colourways
    
    * like the famous Marilyn Monroe one?

Strong image. Half dead half alive. Two opposing in one. Neat. James.

  Yes, poor old tree. Looks a bit like I feel...

    Look closely at the picture - it's more alive than dead
    
    Sorry James!

Well nice photo. But seeing the dark side of life after which comes a brand new day of hope. Take it from my poem
"Raison d'etre".

Great picture - I can wax lyrical or philosophical when I look at it. It's one of those scenes that says;

"take your time, look at me, think about me, tell me what I mean to you and show me what grows from me to you."

Nice one.

I was intirigued by title so checked it out. recently read PKD's 'Through a Scanner Darkly'and had vague idea it was biblical reference.

You're right about the biblical reference; I recall looking it up some time back.

I'm pleased you enjoyed the image.
