I have stumbled into a flooded shrine long forgotten
Roughly hewn stone stairs descend into the cold water. Were I in full command of my body, I would not set first one foot, then the other down that dark path. I watch unblinking as the water rises past my eyes. A small voice inside is saying I need to breathe. A tiny voice, echoing fainter and fainter. I witness my self become silent. Now I know not need.
I do not need...
I do not know when I closed my eyes. A strange sensation, to wonder if one's eyes are open. A strange thing, to wonder, a human thing. I am beginning to feel more like a human thing, with a very human throbbing headache creeping into the corners of my consciousness. I remember now. My eyes were so dry. And finally it occurred to me to close them. I wonder if it is still in front of me. A radiating portal cunningly conceived of bronze scales. In the center, a silver mirror. And in the mirror, what will I see if I open up my eyes?
Look into my eyes...

How is the move going what's wrong

Move has been stressful but all is good :) We are in a beautiful place. Nestled into the mountains a little bit in the country. The kids are loving running around in the pasture out back.

Great murals! Even the gifs are amazing! It would take a long time to make. I appreciate your hard work.

Crazy cool images, I love how you have taken the simple wall mosaic and made so many amazing and different images from it.

Thanks :) I have been developing this process for a while and it is really fun to take photos with this end in mind - I have been mutating all kinds of images, from plant macro photography to stuff like this. This post is part of a series I have posted in last couple weeks all from different photos of sections of the same mosaic mural
"A strange sensation, to wonder if one's eyes are open.
Indeed. Sometimes, if I hold myself just above sleep, I will begin to dream that I see my body and my room. I must wonder the same thing and it is a rather odd feeling.
Cool pictures, as always. I particularly like the one titled "Look into my eyes" it has a strong mishroom trip feel to it that really enjoy.
Yes I sometimes have the same near-dream experience and that is exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote those lines :) I am glad the "look into my eyes" one resonated, that is probably my favorite of the lot. Trippy!
