Golden Ginkgo
Undiminished Emerald
Linda Lake, British Columbia, Canada
The first time I saw this pleasant subalpine lake I was struck by its undisturbable tranquility and uncompromised color quality. When it comes to a near flawless landscape, the art is deciding on which descriptive elements to use.
It was the triangular mountain base adorned with vivid green trees and pointing arrow-like into the deep forest, which caught my eye. The still lake surface shows perfect reflective symmetry, the mirror illusion being especially intensified along the line where water and land meet, appearing almost unreal. It is an impressive experience to see exact symmetry displayed so boldly in nature. Despite the powerful mirror-symmetry, I decided to pull viewers back to an asymmetric macro world by including foreground rocks to provide a sense of depth.
