Dappled light

Here are 5 pictures showing dappled light on the stainless steel of various of my Escaping Flatland sculptures. Dappled light is produced when sunlight is filtered through the leaves of trees. The dapples result not because tree leaves have elliptical holes in them but rather because the leaves combine to make many tiny pinhole cameras, which then produce multiple images of the sun’s surface on nearby projection surfaces. Thus each dapple is an image of the surface of the sun. If there is a large sunspot on the surface on the sun, that spot will appear within each dapple.

Many intriguing events occur on the surface of landscape sculptures, as they borrow Nature’s light.
