Yesterday I accidentally found myself standing under this, the largest Cork Tree (aka Wishing Tree) in Australia. Apparently Edward Parker brang the seedling over from England in a jam tin and planted it in Wood St Tenterfield 1861 where I found it, my wow moment to share.
If you have a wow moment, plz share it with us 🙂

The street light photo is STUNNING @Former-Member
and so is your story of it and your interpretation.
The symmetry and shapes of the auras .. divine!
Believe it or not .. in another life I was INTO photography .. but just not for a while .. still reclaiming my visual sense and aesthetic .. I kinda lopped it off myself ..

No I was nt tongue in cheek .. but always love language .. and its multiple meanings ...
I can imagine driving alone in the night .. it was a long trip .. and the relief .. of light ...
that aura had wings and a gown.
When in orphanage .. a little girl used to lie with me and tell me all her imaginations about the clouds .. I was too shy to even think of any myself .. so its actually good for me .. to be able to read it into your photo... thanks.
I dont believe in reincarnation tho find some things in Eastern mysticism helpful. The scientist in me does believe in the reconstitution of things being in flux .. atom and molecules etc ,,tho my physics and chem is pretty basic .. I still like learning about science .. it enhances my understanding and awe in nature ...
I think it is do with ... me being beautiful enough as a mother and many people comparing my children as not being as beautiful as my husbands first ... and part of my SH .. very deep ... but I am getting to the bottom of it... also wonky eyes .. is actually more genetic .. than MI .. in my curent understanding .. or maybe they will find that mysterious gene ...
I just had an article in my science feed .. about a rainman gene .. but looked into it .. and am annoyed about it being poor reportiing .. ce la vie
Iron is one of the few physical substances my mother ever mentioned .. as I knew she had to take supplements during her pregnancy also.
Iron is important ... symbollically to me .. but I also know I am weird ..

I think I lopped off my visual aesthetics .. as I was also surrounded by a lot of poverty .. and foccussed on making do .. and compromise ... and thought I did not have time to look for the beauty in things .. "beauty" was a trigger word for me for a long time ...
