There are only two worlds – your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. Provide an escape. Provide a threat. Provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.
― Neil Gaiman, The Books of Magic
Below is the original photo used to create this image. I found this vibrant bush outside of a restaurant in Bon Air, VA. No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
