In the park opposite the La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona this man sits alone contemplating what to listen too.

"I can't tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that art has often judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past has suffered, so that it has never been forgotten" (John Berger)

Sunlight streamed through the yellow aspens as he stood alone, at the water's edge. "The season is changing", he thought. "So must I." At Payson Lakes, Utah.

I have been playing about with the Monochrome vol 2 LR presets from www.olivejuiceshoppe.com. For this photo I used "bw [juno]" with "tint [sand]".

Lighting is from the window, hence the high ISO and therefore noise/grain.

Have a seat and think about what you've done, sir! 👉

*Contemplating:

1. looking at thoughtfully; observing deep in thought;

2. thinking intently and at length, as for spiritual purposes;

3. reflecting deeply on a subject

"One has to tiptoe lightly and steal up to one's quarry; you don't swish the water when you are fishing. I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us."

-Henri Cartier-Bresson

PixNote:

Cadillac Mountain is the highest coastal point on the East Coast of the United States, at 1,532 feet (~500m). Thousands ascend by car to the mountain's summit to see what they believe is the United States first sunrise and to see the rest of the island.

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."

Slow down, take a deep breath and just contemplate the beauty of big white clouds hanging over the sea. This view gives me a great sense of peace.

contemplating an escape

The view's not so bad from there, but you can do it from any position. The formalities aren't all so necessary.

At times a "Pause" becomes a "Need".

My friend relaxing in front of Lake Sabrina in the Bishop area of the Eastern Sierra Range as the Milky Way rises up over the horizon.

As I was taking the photos I asked him what he was thinking, He said "absolutely nothing", he was just enjoying staring up at the starry night.

Inspired about how often people sit on the couch (or sofa) especially during the period of lockdown. Previously it was seen as a place of comfort and rest but now it feels like a trap or prison.

... can you make the jump?
