TRANSITION 7 
(key clarification dealing with COLOR)

The following discovery became clear while walking inside natural connecting image 61D section 2, in the Forests for the World, Prince George, Northern British Columbia, October 2009.

In the natural world, BLENDS serve as connectors to the opposed elements (forms, COLOR, light, shade...). The ease to connect these oppositions is so precise that we are unaware of the existence of blends unless we spend a great amount of time surrounded by nature or unified sensory information. 
In the manufactured world, it is difficult to move from one colored object to another because there is rarely a transition between the two. Shortcuts (one color right next to another) are almost always used in advertising, houses, clothing, politics, sports... resulting in a very large amount of energy unconsciously wasted trying to find the missing links between these non-prepared oppositions. Theory: By not taking into account the simple organization of nature, the manufactured world saps an enormous amount of cerebral energy.

The following files are not accompanied by written explanations, they are conceived for a visual reading. It is recommended to view them more than once while listening to unified music (high level of connecting sounds that can help to concentrate...). They are also meant to be viewed in progression, as each file evolved from the previous ones. The continuity between them was designed for a better understanding of this KEY discovery. For more information, please view the following PDFs: Tr2 (3a1, 3a2), Tr3 (5), Tr3 (1 and 6a), transition 5 & 6 before 7 and PARALLEL COLOR (in nature, each element use only one color family in order to eliminate visual competition).
The files in transition 7 can all be printed, internet quality except for Tr7 (6). 
The accompanying word file.rtf  (T En 2)
The purpose of the enclosed photographs is to document this transition. 
To be viewed on a screen (1000 pixels or more) in width.
As for the two elliptical blue purple links to the right: The top one is a smaller version, and the bottom one the larger version of the same file.
