Recently, during one of my walks in the forest near my home, I came across knitted bracelets made of red and white threads hanging from a tree branch. These ornaments are made of wool or cotton yarn in two main colors - white and red, which people wear every year at the beginning of spring. They are called "Martenitsa" and once you wear them for a month or until you see the first swallow or stork you must hang them on a tree which according to the sayings brings health and luck.
This custom is typical for the Balkan region (Southeast Europe) and has become a tradition in Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Romania, Moldova, and the Northern part of Greece.
Once I got home I did some experiments with light and colors in Lightroom.
And here is the final outcome :)
Thank you for stopping by and taking a few minutes to read my post.
Stay safe and never stop exploring the world around you.
Yours,
George
The truest art is what we create from the bottom of our hearts. According to the norms of society, some of us are born with the talent to create art and some of us aren't. I completely disagree with this comprehension.
I believe every human being has her/his own unique way of expression and it is not necessary to be born with the talent of a poet, writer, painter, or composer. Each of us could express hers/his view of the world in words and pictures. And if you can't paint, dance, or sing, just describe your feelings, memories, and dreams in your own words and color them with pictures you have taken yourself.
This is the unique advantage of Hive over all social platforms.
Here, you don't have to pose as who society expects you to be. On Hive you can be yourself with all your disadvantages and no one will judge you for not following the "standard". Because on Hive there are as many "standards" as the number of the members of this blockchain society.
