Adam and Eve Romancing in the Iced Garden of Eden

In this art piece Adam and Eve are portrayed in the garden of Eden in the presence of the serpent.  They are passionately interested in each other, while the serpent needs to have his say at this moment in time, as he writhes his way toward the couple .  This art piece was originally a photograph of the ice pond in a local park, but has been partially modified in form and color to depict a romantic scene

The cold water takes on a variety of formations and textures in both liquid and solid form. In addition a variety of crystallised forms are present.  One just has to look at the microcosms of the backyard and you will find little pieces of heaven and the miraculous earth sch as this one.

On the day I photographed the image, the conditions were ripe. A  “bad” snowstorm in February 2016 with 8-12 inches of snow, was followed by a Valentines day of zero degrees Fahrenheit, and then followed a day later by a morning with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Fahrenheit.  Ice ponds with transparent and often cracked thin ice could be found all over the park  As I looked more closely at these ice ponds with my macro lens – my breath was taken away by the geometric forms of nature.

Just a click of the camera and a moment of time in nature, likely never to surface again, was captured.
