Strange patterns made by trees and floating detritus in a pond remind me of brain neurons. I discovered that part of a neuron is called a dendrite – presumably because of its resemblance to trees.

Good observations M, both of the image and the brain constituents. May your little grey cells continue to flourish! 🙂

Excellent image, M, I like it very much. Yes, dendrite is like trees – or like branching plants maybe too – its used in geology too. A

Thank you very much, Woodlandgnome! Yes – the effect is rather discombobulating isn’t it?! There is a gentle movement in this pond which throws up all sorts of curious reflections, colours and shapes.

What a wonderful word! Haven’t heard anyone use it for quite a while. Yes, wonderful shapes, great depth of field in the photo. How beautiful it would be as a framed print. WG

Good call, M, and what an absolutely fascinating abstract image! And the FATman was right–there are geological dendrites, too: they happen when one mineral crystallizes in another mineral in the form of a branching or treelike mark. And I can’t stop looking at this photo! My eye is drawn–as my younger daughter Batty used to say when she was little–every witch way!

Thank you, Gary! I shall research geological dendrites today (a day off work 😉 ). ‘…. every witch way!’; I love it!

I feel my dendrites are being manipulated looking at this …it’s a nice feeling 😉

I may need to see a counselor. When I look at the picture for a long time, I see a sad cow face. Maybe my brain is broken. 🙂

I think I can see what you mean. I hadn’t noticed faces in it before, but now I can see one or maybe two. It’s interesting what we individually see in an abstract image!
