Ok, a while back I had an idea in my head for an image, I guess, initially to be one huge painting, inspired by a real location.

It was going to feature an open window in an old house with a breeze having blown open curtains+window towards a large, new-leafed Lime tree, pulling the eye to it beyond, outside, into (a perhaps overgrown) garden. 

There were going to be small but glitzy/digital words though, underneath and was to be possibly titled 'Nature Rules'...

It was also going to have - less obvious - a shadowy hand in the foreground, resting on a table next to a sleek, black mobile smartphone of some kind, and a pair of glasses. Maybe some keys or something. A cigarette burning. 

It was going to be some comment on our obsession with tech control, with 'sharing' and capturing all things 'new' and promoted, quickly and without seeing. Perhaps the owner of the hand had decided to switch off his phone, and was staring out of the window, instead of the phone... Perhaps this is the direction technology should be taking us; closer in contact with the outdoors. I wanted tons of detail in the tree, to really draw the eye and make it have to work to take it all in. Maybe it was going to be a collage of mini-shots like a David Hockney photo-piece, trying to make an otherwise pretty ordinary, natural scene into something more fascinating or attention-grabbing. (If you've ever stood before an original impressionist Monet painting of water lilies etc, you'll know just how huge they really are).

I never made this image, but I made this sequence of 3 photos, enhancing them (and with none of the foreground ideas present). So anyway... I hope you like these (free) images, and can at least get an idea of this 'thing' I wanted to express. How do they relate to crypto, if at all? Well, maybe just to be wary of hype, and appreciate the real presence of things.
