Project 52 - 2013 Week 9

I have been wanting to shoot this for some time now. Walking to the bus on a sunny morning I would often see the way the trunks and lower limbs of the maples that line some of my local streets glow with the greeny-yellow colour of the thick moss that covers them. Without the thick canopy that adorns them in the summer months, the sunlight penetrates and gives a dappled, magical appearance that follows the "infinity" pattern as they continue on down the street as far as you can see. I raced out on a sunny morning this week and tried to capture the image as best I could without the power lines, street lights, vehicles and parking signs from getting in the way, it was kind of tough actually, but this image tells the story in part.
