And so I continue with the release of images from my recent travels with this image of mushrooms struggling for life on an early frost bitten morning in Cavan. I like the contrast between the colourful but dead leaves and the pale but living mushrooms. The scene offers an interesting contrast, and possibly a contradiction to our traditional views on colour’s relationship to life.
