Photo 365 - Day 240 (Leyline)

Day 240 (February 28th, 2011)
Title: Leyline

One of the fun things about taking picture that, when originally viewed as "plain" or "boring" is that with a little creative 'playing', you can really make them something completely different.  While at a local park, I looked up and saw the contrail of a plane that had recently flown by starting to disperse.  I thought; "Hey, it looks like someone put a rip in the sky."  Which, of course, started an immediate discussion about Star Trek and "rips in the time/space continuum".  It occurred to my Geek-infested brain, that a lot of genres use such things, normally called Leyline, as a cosmic force of magic and/or powers.  In Star Trek, it was something that could rend the entire universe apart, in many fantasy worlds, they are the source of all magic, and in horror-type worlds, they are gateways for demons and evil to come visit and say "hi!".  I'm hoping this one was more of a friendly "butterflies-slightly-annoy-you" variety. 

And no, not huge demon-butterflies either.  I know some of you were thinking it!

Enjoy
