Twins

For some reason, I always tend to walk on the same, familiar, roads through nature when I’m out on my walkabout, so I’m always looking at the same landscapes. The probable reason for that is my unpleasant feeling of new and unfamiliar. Anyway, this morning I, by chance, decided to deviate a little from my standard path and see if something is interesting around the corner. I’m familiar with what is there, I just rarely go there. Immediately my eyes were attached to two trees by the river, that were standing out from the rest of the trees around by its look and high.

Previously, when I was there, I never noticed those trees sticking out so obviously. I must not have noticed them because of the lush green foliage on them and I’m also thinking that they were smaller and not that grown. It just shows how every season differently influences nature.

Everything was so calm and peaceful. Even the river was still. The white landscape and dark blue sky were a perfect match. Looking at the landscape in front of me felt a little overwhelming. To be honest, I was surprised and even confused by what I saw because I didn’t expect to see anything alluring. I pointed my camera and carefully composed my shot by trying to simplify the scene as much as possible and removing some, in my opinion, unnecessary elements from the shot. I like how it turned out and how I placed my main subject, the twin tree, in the shot.

Looking at the final, edited, shot it reminded me of some paintings I saw that had rivers and trees in them, and I was thinking about how nature was always been such an inspiration for creative people like painters and photographers. There is no other feeling but to be so grateful for having the opportunity to enjoy this kind of scene.
