Keith, excellent idea for a thread and a wonderful image.

I took the photo below while on my Yosemite trip last fall.  It's the root wad from a fallen tree and contains an interesting interplay of order and disorder.  This scene fascinated me but I was never able to make it into a coherent image.

That is a beauty. Reminds me of the Vista on the 17 Mile drive near Monterrey!

Do you have scenes of naturally occurring visual chaos?
I find it difficult to communicate naturally occurring disorder and visual chaos through the orderly medium of the sharply framed photo. Here is my latest attempt:  The plant life of our local coastal sage plant community in late summer.  The larger shrubs and trees can stay green, but most of the smaller ones have by now 'checked out', until it rains again.  Shot just before sundown, corrected blue skylight back towards neutral color.  Wide 14mm on APSC camera.

Great composition. I can only subscribe to that point raised above!

Thank you Frank!

We are planning on a trip to Monterrey in the spring to see my Sister who lives 2 hours south of there.  It is one of my favorite places.

This one was taken on a small hiking trail in a state park that is near our house on the east coast of the US.  It is approximately a 5K walk from our doorstep.

Thank you for starting this thread Pluton. 

Many great images here and I hope to see many more!

Lovely contributions Bill M. and Bill D.  Akira has put it in a social context, as Bjørn R. did earlier.

Today I took a rare walk with my wife on a Saturday (she normally has to work every Saturday) and managed to not only take my "picture a day keeps the doctor away", but also two pictures for Keith's genious thread. The second are birch trees, the first is a kind of Mimosa I guess:

I don't know if this is disorder or merely picturesque entropy.

Not the forest of my dreams to navigate, or a violation of the N-3/2 rule.
