Deep in the forest, this mushroom (Russula ochroleuca, geelwitte russula) shows fifty shades of yellow. It is a wonder of nature. Its architecture is a miracle on its own.

The sunlight tells the story of election day (for a new Dutch parliament) through the stained glass window. It seems to be a sign from above. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the pattern appeared on the wall while enjoying my coffee in the company of my son-in-law and one of my grandsons.
Could the fuzzy pattern be a metaphor for the results on this day? I thought. What is it trying to say to me? Which story is written here? Anyway, the scattered colours lead to a range of personal reflections about the state and future of our society and Nature, this on the morning after the (impressive) day before. The pattern has some mysticism in it. And beauty.

On election day, the quietness of the forest brought this autumn palette. The colours are vividly related to pleasant summer memories.

The Rocky Mountains made a considerable impression during our 2010 hiking trip through Canada. Here is an art expression. It is John Denver who is connected to the discovery of this part of the world. This is about my respect for the dimensions and dynamics, which are much larger than me, myself and I.
This view gives me calm and comfort in the loud, noisy, screamy atmosphere of election time. It provides a reflection on the higher connections to be made.
