Summary of the fragments gallery : photography by mike finley

Wildfire

Abstract image reminiscent of a wild fire burning through a forest.
Actually a few square inches of the back of a gravestone, with colour and patterns from algae, lichen, and the remnants from ivy being pulled off the stone by the gardener.

simple pattern

Poppies

Abstract representation of a field of poppies ... or lichen on a small section of a piece of slate in an old quarry! This image received an award for 'Excellence in Abstract Photography' in SoJie 12.

Aerial Landscape

While looking somewhat like an aerial landscape, this abstracted image is really of a part of an old weathered tree trunk that has lost its bark and shows evidence of damage by burrowing insects.

torn

abstract - make of it whatever you want! To me, a patch of cloud against a mountainside. (If you must know - a piece of decaying plywood in an abandoned slate quarry, the facing veneer almost entirely lost.)
