Disco Balls in... Snow

Funny story with these ones. There are only 2 disco ball ones, but I took about 100 pictures that day...

That day, I'd missed my bus to school. Normally, this was just an inconvenience and I'd juust take the city bus. But as I got home, I noticed the fresh snow on the trees outside. I wasn't catching any city bus - I was taking pictures (Despite my mother's protests...). You'll never know how refreshing it is to take pictures when 1) the scene is so beautiful and 2) you know you're not supposed to!

Disco Balls In Nature - Extra

I thought this one had a lot of meaning.

If you don't already know the meaning of my Disco Balls in Nature series, please see the original blog for an explanation... which might help you understand why this has meaning.

Disco Balls in Nature - Set 2

In my backyard waterfall... I liked the bubbles!

Again, in the waterfall.

I liked the way the water continued falling as the ball began to drop.

At the top of the waterfall before it fell (I guess this is a little out of order!)

All of the Trilliums died... Already... So I decided to put a disco ball in what was left over.

In a tree...

Disco Balls in Nature - Set 1

We are the disco ball.

Spinning continuously, but not really advancing. With time, becoming more apparent, more damaging and less attractive.

Our souls reflect nature and the world around us. The disco ball reflects the room engulfing it.

It reflects light, brightly blinding anyone who stares at it. We reflect destruction, ruining most of what we come into contact with.

While we advance technologically, we fall further behind in noticing the world around us. As the disco ball continues to reflect light, it becomes normal and less noticeable to those around it.

It is untouchable. We are losing grip.

Disco balls in nature?! What an unusual Sight!

Hard to mix nature with an object such as this. It's not normal, it's unusual, it's unexpected. There is a thin divide between the disco ball and the world around it.

Might I remind you, we are the disco ball?

This is the description of a very large series of photos I have begun working on. The disco ball is a metaphor for the human in so many ways, only few were mentioned above. Every once in a while, I'll upload some photos from the "Disco balls in Nature" Series.

Psst... Insider Secret: Those disco balls are Christmas Tree ornaments.

This photo won 3rd place at my public library. I liked how the greens of the forest were reflected on the disco ball.
