Lunaria rediviva

First shots from the Contina (seed cases of honesty plants):


My photos make me think of Philip Pullman's descriptions of the world of the dead in the Amber Spyglass. His writing conjures up something more grey and desolate than these light-filled photos:

They found themselves on a great plain that extended far ahead into the mist. The light by which they saw was a dull self-luminescence that seemed to exist everywhere equally, so that there were no true shadows and no true light, and everything was the same dingy colour... the silence was immense and oppressive...

...but still the infinite overlapping translucent shapes spreading back into the distance is a little how I imagine the ghosts.

Their voices were no louder than dry leaves falling.
