This morning it was very foggy, which is pretty rare for little old Adelaide and this was definitely the heaviest fog I have experienced thus far in my lifetime. So of course, I jumped for joy at the opportunity to capture a familiar environment and turn it into newfound pieces of art, and went out…

Shadows here are plentiful and strange –
The dark has glowing eyes but no eyelids
(They never blink). Peculiar and estranged,
Here is a place where the monsters live.

There is a tree I used to climb
With sweeping walls of green,
Enclosing me in another world

Became shelves to hold my dreams.
Each bough, a room all of its own

Hoping you’d overhear in hushed
Rustles, a subliminal message

This is a spot I have visited several times to take photos, but I have never seen it this green!

I think it’s beautiful how untouched it is.
