At the very beginning of autumn, a rowan tree, on a mountainside bright yellow with gorse south of Pontypool.

Something a little weird for Macro Mondays theme 'Eraser'.

Not owning any erasers I was inspired to photograph, I had not intended to participate this week - but my husband found this pencil in the back of a desk drawer, and even suggested the title, which is taken from the 1977 surrealist cult film by David Lynch. The pencil was set up in front of my computer screen which provided the background as close as I could manage easily to the original film poster, and I found a very co-operative snail. The image was converted to monochrome and processed using very high contrast and sharpening.

Unless you are familiar with the Eraserhead film and poster, this image won't make any sense at all!

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph
