Image I took recently in the woods around Cambridge (near Byron's Pool, Grantchester). I stuck two feathers into the bark of an old oak. The feathers had been lying at the bottom of the tree trunk.

The words are from my poem truths to be found in the rain

rain drops tattooed the window pane
when I knew
the only truth to be found in this life
is the one carved out from your own skin

This was an experiment. I overlayed three images taken in quick succession to create this blurred effect that - to me - feels almost like a video still, as if you could see the movement out of the corner of your eye; a song caught between movements. I added textures, a vignette and colour adjustment layers to get to this and love the ethereal feel of it.
