A different angle, some glorious wintery mid-afternoon spots of dappled sunlight on this delicate hanging annual Zygocactus flower, combined with using an old faithful manual 50mm Pentax Prime lens created some lovely varying compositional effects I’m really happy with.

It’s Zygocactus annual flowering time again. The cool southerly winter winds created some difficulty while attempting to photo up close this hanging little beauty. It was highlighted with sunspots from the afternoon sunlight creating some lovely effects. Taken at home near Innisfail, in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia!

Common name: Zygocactus, Christmas cactus, and Crab’s claw cactus
Botanic name: Schlumbergera truncata Hybrids

(This was taken with my very first SLR Lens which I forgot I had and recently rediscovered it in my black camera bag archives. It came with my first ever SLR (late 70’s), a Pentax K1000 also in good working order but ‘neglected in use’ since purchasing a DSLR in 2007.)

An unexpected encounter with the Shadow Muse!

I just had to go and grab my camera when I saw these strong contrast shadow patterns being cast/projected onto the tall multi-storey vertical wall one tropical winter’s June mid-afternoon.
Where? Behind my work place in Innisfail, Far North Queensland, Australia.

Building Information
Built between 2007-2009, this is Innisfail’s first Council approved (and last, so ‘the officials’ say) 6 multi-storey units building in a contemporary Art Deco style. It is positioned along the Innisfail Esplanade next to the Johnstone River.  It’s been reported that the building already has a small 5-6 degree angle lean, due to it’s proximity with the river bank that floods every wet season.

Then of course there is the whole psychological realm dealing with Shadow (psychology)
where the ground opens up to explore the shadow muse in the underworld!!! (Maybe best left for another time!)
