Light in Dark Places
I think I’ll just leave it at that–a figure of speech not signifying any inner state but only a description of a pattern of light and dark.
I will tell you that I was sitting on a hay bale when I took this shot, and that the original lines were boringly parallel.
Distortion applied from that same hay bale by the IOS app, Enlight.
I’ll likely have a few more “shots taken while bored” over the course of the week.

You are becoming very modern and abstract, Fred. Very cool.
I am glad you describe how and where that photo was made. Whose barn and why sitting there?
I like this abstract no matter how it came to be.
Oooh, I like it! Very creative. Messing with photography is fun…stay bored!
This time of year, the images tend to get more abstract and often in black and white, nature being stripped of saturation and all but the most elemental forms. Won’t be long before the ICE FOLLIES!
