   The lighting here is phenomenal.

   It’s clear where the sun is by the shadows, but the center petals almost look back-lit.

   And the center whorl of pistils / stamens (one of those two – biology class was a long time ago) is mesmerizing.

   Do you do a lot of macro photos, or has that just what you’ve been sharing the last few weeks?

   Also, a bit of etymology meandering. Why do we use “macro” for close-up photography, while macroeconomics is the big-picture economy as a whole. Makro (Greek) means large when used as a prefix.

   The same prefix is used for seemingly polar opposites.

   Also, the “Inner Space” title + the trippy pic.

   Dude, you’re a closet psilocybin freak.

   It’s cool; I won’t narc you out to your boss.

   @de stijl: Thanks for the kind words. I was quite happy with the light here. There is a time of the late afternoon/early evening that the angle of the light in my back yard creates some really cool looks.

   I do a fair bit of macro photography, which I really enjoy. I do not know why it is called “macro”–and my trippy-ness is not chemically enhanced 😉
