Secrecy and scheming reign here.

For some reason, reading Wikipedia about mythology of trees and Yggdrasil, a brief passage describes, "Three roots supported the trunk, with one passing through Asgard, one through Jotunheim and one through Hel. Beneath the Asgard root lay the sacred Well of Urd (Urðabrunnr), and there dwelt the three Nornir, over whom even the gods had no power, and who, every day, watered the tree from the primeval fountain, so that its boughs remained green. Beneath the Jotunheim root lay the spring or well of Mímir (Mímisbrunnr); and beneath the Hel root the well Hvergelmir ("the Roaring Cauldron"). In the top of the tree was perched a giant rooster,..." I had to laugh--it describes this scene!

That firey orange is gripping and invasive and I adore how it washes the entire background with such vivid color in the mist

An amazing picture. This actually looks like a mushroom cloud, following a disastrous explosion as an out of control fire rages in the background. It's a scene of light and colour that pummels my senses

Remarkable combination of elements--and vision.

Ethereal, dreamy, incertain, evanescent. This photo perfectly interprets the essence of baroque. Or of love.

Quelle magnifique mise en scène lumineuse Adal!! Joyeux Noël et grande année 2007 de création.

Superb composition, I love how the blue colour merges seemlessly into the oranges and reds of the lights.
