Abstract art by Nature herself

Browsing my collections for something entirely else, I found this shot. Depending on the day I classified it as very bad or very good, but couldn't really make anything of it. Now I gave it a try. 

Given that it was taken at the longer zoom end of a telephoto lens, it wasn't particularly sharp. It isn't even now. But I like the reflecting tiny branches in the fog.

Something abstract

Once in a while I get the urge to take on something more abstract. This time it is the bokeh of scales of a naga dragon, like the one below:

It's a tail!

I am not sure how the sculpture is made, but - given the design is pretty popular across Thailand - I am guessing that it must be a pretty routine job to "engrave" the scales.
