Illusion of Movement

I was taking sunset pictures

through a grove of trees

in the last moments

before darkness

overcame the land.

I have a number

of very pretty pictures

(some of which I'll post another time),

but this picture

was by far

the most interesting.

I have no idea

what I did

to create this effect.

If I stare at it long enough

I swear I am moving.

Or the trees are moving.

I wish I knew

what happened

to create

this illusion.

The colors behind the trees

are absolutely brilliant

and make a perfect

backdropfor the impression

of movement in a still shot.

Some days you just get lucky.
