#JohnWyndham was a British SciFi author probably best known for #DayOfTheTriffids (empirically difficult to film) but I think #TheChrysalids is rather good.
Post-apocalyptic and a #bildunsroman

Triffid alley in Hampstead.

Mistigram: @pixelblip goes oldschool with this one, a #BBCMicro screen depicting the passage of a curious green meteor across the sky, with foreshadowing from peculiar, tall plants viewed from beneath. The scene kickstarts the action in #JohnWyndham's 1951 post-apocalyptic novel #DayOfTheTriffids, and if you never read it perhaps this can serve as a reminder to get around to it. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0523 artpack collection.

Good evening from Thaxted. Clio and I have been watching another version of #DayOfTheTriffids - this time the film starring #HowardKeel. To my shame, I haven't read the book, so dont know how faithful this film is. It has a much more international feel, taking in many countries, while the resolution to the #Triffid problem was found here in England. I particularly liked that these two storylines ran in parallel, with the characters never meeting. You rarely have that in a film. Pax!
