Green Leaves Of Summer

Challenge #31 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by OldArrow.

Challenge has finished

Titled after the unforgettable theme from "The Alamo" (1960, Paul Francis Webster / Dimitri Tiomkin), this Challenge is about the green leaves, which keep us breathing. Simple theme. Make it interesting, though. Find a nice lighting, find peculiar surfaces... and do not forget to observe the simple rules.

mate, you must be having a better summer than we are here in the Midwest USA. "Green" is a memory.

Can't complain, really. It's a real one this year, with temps reaching 45C easily. People are measuring over 50C in the parking lots, but cities are hell anyway :). Near my lake there is always this great moderating influence of the big water volume, reducing the city kind of temperatures by 10 or more degrees...
