051: Dried Mace

f/11, 1/180 sec, ISO 100, 50mm M42 with 29mm extension, low flash & silver reflector.
Myristica fragrans - in this case mace, which surrounds a nutmeg.
Obviously it dried out into this shape, but seen just so it resembles a billowing ragged cloth against a yellowish sky - or even underwater. It also makes me think of how squid and octopi look when they swim, or a jellyfish.
