Innocence and Sin

The Divine Apple Tree
The original Divine Apple Tree exists somewhere in the nether world, a dimension between imagination and reality. Myths, legends and religious visions come from a hidden place deep within the soul. For the Greeks and Romans, Jews and Christians and other cultures, this sweet fruit plays a role in the story of innocence and sin. Using special technology involving pseudoscience and manipulation of the light spectrum I have managed to peer through a portal revealing a twilight image of that first apple tree. Tempted though I was, I did not partake of the forbidden fruit.
