Climbing

I was mowing the lawn today and I noticed this ivy climbing up our Hickory tree.  I was about to tear it off the trunk of the tree.  Ivy growing on a tree is not a healthy thing for the health of the tree.  Just as I was reaching for the top of the ivy, I realized that this would make a lovely photograph.  So I stopped and went in the house and got my infrared modified camera and made this photograph.  That camera records infrared light, and any growing thing with chlorophyl in it radiates a lot of infrared.  I have no idea why, but mainly this blog is more about art than science.
