Since moving to this server from .art server I realized that I had not shared any of my fractal art even though my bio says I have a passion for it. Must remedy that!
Im back from my social media detox, with this photo!
This is a photograph of small purple flowers, which is covered by the shadows of the trees around it and there is a small area of sunlight passing through them.
Did you know that Tyrian #Purple, a #color worn by high-ranking people from the #Minoan era onwards, was pretty foul?
The dye was made of #sea#snails which were left to rot.
A dyer would then crush them and dye garments.
This would leave both his hands & the #fabric with a fishy, unpleasant smell.
The dye was also used by Rabbis & was so offensive that the #Talmud (a book important to #Judaism), would allow women to divorce their husbands if they became dyers after marriage.
The cry of gulls at twilight is haunting, but not in a frightening way; aching, but not in a sad way -- it tugs deep at our hearts, and as they ascend en masse and take flight, something in our heart rises with them, longing to go where they go, free.
