What a great shot. Although I'm not sure I like the traditional rite that they have to go through!

Mesmerising. Great grouping in lovely light. And male viewers are probably better off not reading the tags....

LitterART says:

"Any person from whose soul the rain forest once rose in luxuriant growth is aware of what it means to get tangled in the lianas and the orchids of the subconscious once he has left the well-trodden paths of civilization and then realizes how difficult it is to find his way back. And if unexpectedly he then finds himself once more on this side of the fence, he is no longer who he was before. His home will have lost much of its homeliness. But just as a world taken for granted is not a world understood, he will now understand much of his own world for the first time, even if from then on he will at times experience what it is like to tell the blind what 'red' is."

EX: Hans Peter Duerr (1985), Dreamtime: Concerning the Boundary between Wilderness and Civilization, Oxford and New York: Basil Blackwell (trans. Felicitas Goodman)

Please add your photo to the group www.flickr.com/groups/647530@N23/
