In the dog days of August, one hopes for a reprieve from the noon-day heat in the shade of trees. This reprieve doesn’t come easily on suburban walks along the older main roads… while searching for some shade, I noticed how these cedar hedges were trimmed so aggressively on the road side. I had stop when I noticed little evidence of cutting… it must have been done some time ago. Then I was the quality of light shining through them… it coloured everything with a frosty green. From my perspective, it looked like a winter scene on the other side. Let your logic go and allow your imagination to release the reality of sun on surfaces and embrace the cooling illusion of a winter scene blowing comfort through the trees on a hot summer day.
More to come…
