Being one with Nature
Edited in Fujifilm's raw converter. This image has been inspired by +Pattycake+. She recently published a very successful photo called "summer sunset". I was asking myself whether the attraction of this beautiful image was the implicit suggestion that we can be one with nature. Much of landscape photography has a spiritual side to it - or, if you wish, a secular version of what theologians used to call the "unio mystica", the union of man and God. I do think that, to express things paradoxically, an image (among other things) can for a brief moment make us experience eternity. It still remains, however, an experience, that is, it remains within the boundaries of the human condition.
