Yes, the light was great – and globe thistles are always good photography subjects. But I especially like the dried grasses that “mix up” the composition. There’s tension between the linear grass and the round flowers. (Not to mention all the depth) And to me, an easterner new to the west, that grass is very western. We have similar grasses in the east but they’re not such a dominant feature.
I agree with you (I’m a transplanted easterner), but so far I’ve found this combination of grass and globe thistle to be unique to Red Butte Garden. Thank you for stopping by, Lynn.
Beautiful capture. Love the blues and detail. It does look like another world. At first I thought I was seeing something from under a microscope until I looked a little closer.

so shiny! I think it’s the skeletal tracery of the grass which makes it extraordinary 🙂

Remarkable shot! The title is perfect. I love it when photography becomes something ‘other’ than the subject itself.
