John, this got a WOW outta me this morning. The way the light catches on the poofy :0) white blooms against the BLUE sky is quite dramatic. Love this! ~Mary~
John, dat is werkelijk heel toevallig, was van plan om vandaag ook een foto van een bereklauw te posten. Ga het nog wel doen ook. Ben toch blij dat jij hem vanuit een iets anders perspectief dan ik, heb bekeken. Mooie opname weer. Groet Cornelius
PS: de naam is correct. "Hogweed' (bereklauw) of 'Giant Hogweed' (reuzebereklauw).
I absolutley hate hogweed, its every where and smells of wee, NUT this piccy has put it into a whole new light, what a stunning capture :) great upshot
For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
From Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
I've heard that although lovely to look at, they can produce boils and are somewhat poisonous. Your perspective is great here, and the contrasts are amazing. :)
This is so strange. It looks just like what we call Queen Annes Lace over here, but it never gets that tall of course. But they look so much alike. This is a lovely photo, the colours are fantastic, and the clarity is great too. Verena
