Nature defies imagination


The more I looked at the dozens of pictures I took of this bat colony, the more they seemed to blur into abstract works with a distinct kind of Japanese art quality. Bare branches twisted so much as to appear the work of an imaginative painter rather than true to nature...


... tightly knotted parcels hanging under the branches, like as many clever origamis...


... and throughout, a study in delicate shades of black (bat)-brown, bark-brown, and yellowish brown from the bats' bellies.

Nature is so amazing. Man never invented anything more sophisticated, not even the most brilliant painters.
