Thanks, Francois and John.
John, you don't know how close you came to what is behind this image. I came across some accidental shots on my phone, captured as RAW using the LR Mobile app, taken in a very dark room. At first this one seemed black, with a slight white streak from a window ledge. But when I brought the exposure way up, I could see that there was a pattern of colorful background sensor noise. I played with it a while, and finally came up with what you see. It made me think how noise is a manifestation of randomness and entropy, throughout the universe. And how everything is trending relentlessly in that direction, and eventually randomness is all that will remain. The "last" "photon" burning out into the universal noise: maybe that is the final fate.
And honest, no pharmacologic assistance was involved in imagining this scenario.
