Tales from the Earth
This is another sunrise shot from that enchanted corner of our busy world, the meanders of the river Adda near Airuno. If you think that it is very similar to the previous one, The Round of the four Elements, you are right: this is the very same view, taken some minutes later with a different lens, so that it is classifiable as a "detail landscape".
In the previous wideangle shot I felt strongly the intimate interplay of the traditional four Elements - whence the title. Here, correspondingly, I was impressed by the feeling that the river and the wetland beyond were transpiring forgotten tales together with the mist. Tales told in the secret language of Nature, which we can obscurely understand since we are among Nature's children. Tales as ancient as the world. Tales from the Earth.
I was a blessed beholder of this little miracle - when I deeply felt that the whole universe is an infinitely interconnected totality, where everything is in intimate relationship with everything else - as modern physics teaches us. I am glad to have had a chance to capture at least some scraps of the magic of this moment and offer it to other people.
This image comes from a blending of a -1.7/0/+1.7ev bracketing by luminosity masks, processed in The Gimp. The more I explore this technique, the more I feel amazed by its versatility and seemingly unlimited power in post-processing.
