Heroes Not Zombies

A couple of hundred metres from my house is a Roman spring (a “source” in French – isn’t that an inspiring word?). Here’s a photo I took there this week.

The water in the spring is so amazingly clear. It’s quite astonishing. So I’ve been taking a few photos down there since I moved in.

Take a look at this one. It’s a lovely image of trees which are perfectly reflected in the pool.

But wait a minute….the trees are bare, but in their reflection they seem to be completely covered in leaves! How can that be?

Well, look more closely and you’ll see that those leaves are actually green plants growing under the water – those leaves that have magically appeared on the winter trees aren’t anything to do with the trees at all!

Magic! And beautiful!
