Round 10 Mundane as Art Challenge - ICE!

osm0sis (60) in photography • 7 years ago (edited)

I found these roses in my mom's garden this Winter. They seemed to have been frozen in time, trapped between two fast changing seasons.

This is my very first entry to The Old Dog @kus-knee's Mundane as Art Challenge.

Thank you @kus-knee for hosting this challenge. My friend @immarojas has been promoting it to me for weeks!

They are absolutely beautiful! They could as well be made from glass... It makes me think of the transience of life, the fact that in nature, things appear the most beautiful just before they start to fade. These flowers are like the Snow White in her glass coffin who won't wake up anymore. They have been dead since they froze, but their death will appear only after they melt, the life-reviving touch of sun won't work for them...

What a beautifully poetic way you have of observing and representing the acts of Mother Nature.
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. Following you :)

osm0sis (60) · 7 years ago

Mais c'est la deprime totale la-bas! Pppppfffff... si même les grues remontent (j'allais faire une blague debile mais je vais m'arrêter la)
Bon en même temps, je suis arrivée sur l'ile Maurice il y a 3 jours et il n'arrête pas de pleuvoir. J'ai le droit de me plaindre aussi?

Such a beautiful image @osm0sis. Amazing how the ice crystals echo the edges of the petals and define the roses. Lovely background tones too.

Ice to me, could never be thought of as 'mundane' ~ Not living in 'ice and snow country.' ❄️

Thank you so much :) you know these days programs can help you a lot as well. I'm not very good at drawing by hand but through my 3D modeling program I can realize my thoughts more easily. I'm using Rhino 3D - I strongly reccomend it . Thanks again for your help

Are we in the kingdom of the Snow Queen? The beauty of these roses is fabulous. The delicacy of their frozen contours is a marvel. Nature is magical and your photo has immortalized this moment forever.
