It's a narrow bend of the black water creek in the Kleinwalsertal. It's fantastic to see the sunlight breaking through the trees. The mossy green of the rocks in the creek shines bright amid the dark looking water.

Oh mar anterior a nosotros, tus miedos

Tenían coral y playas y arboledas.

Despejadas la noche y la cerrazón,

Las tormentas pasadas y el misterio,

Se abría en flor lo Lejano, y el Sur sideral

Resplandecía sobre las naves de la iniciación.

 

Línea severa de lejana costa

Cuando la nave se aproxima se yergue la ladera

En árboles, donde lo Lejano nada tenía;

Más cerca, se abre la tierra en sones y colores:

Y, en el desembarco, hay aves, flores,

Donde sólo había, a lo lejos, una abstracta línea.

 

El sueño es ver las formas invisibles

De la distancia imprecisa, y con sensibles

Movimientos de esperanza y voluntad,

Buscar en la línea fría del horizonte

El árbol, la playa, la flor, el ave, la fuente:

Los besos merecidos de la Verdad.

What's to be expected from the vista

opening a new window to familiar ground

the once guarded secret of clear visibility

coming as it does before sunset

for the allusion of peace and tranquility

 

Friday's jestur scourned by sobering ablution

the rinse of much malligned sorrows,

decorated by toil, tilth and a fragrant imbue

of decisive stance facing a radiant Sun

for fertile benefit of considerable renew

 

with settlements inview, and hope notwithstanding

will the day pass in all it's weekend refinery?

to pan-out as one would wish,

adding the perfect yet subtle garnish

for the pageant of organic dish

 

here to there with the ingression of everywhere

enter the heart with the exit of falsehoods

and the stillness of bated breath in wait

in spite of, rather than the succulent flavour

of a verbal gift foresaking it's meaning to create

 

the power is in the forgiveness of seeking -

the planning of the alibi for greed

that vile common bug of centrally-heated homing

the pest lurks in us all, a minutia of our ignorance

so let us link hinterland's where hearts are a-roaming.

A shot taken near Nenthead last December. I have managed to miss nearly all of the snow this winter due to work or lockdown. This is one of the few images that I have managed to get with snow in.

Visibility in nature is a fickle concept. Photographers and naturalists always crave perfect lighting and the correct conditions in which to see a place. But, as everyone knows, perfect lighting and visibility isn’t always possible or realistic to plan for. The light can be too bright and blinding- a lack of clouds can make a sky be overwhelming and burnt out. Too many clouds and what should be a brilliant and shining and defined landscape can become gloomy and diminished and murky. Like most things, balance is needed. When I was in Yosemite, I was besieged by clouds one night, had cloudless and bright skies the next night, and then was overwhelmed by smoke, the next two nights. When I was planning the trip, this is exactly what I wanted to avoid- I wanted consistency! But as I was there? Seeing Yosemite Valley react to the changes of visibility with the receding and growth of the light and the evolution of the colors and textures of the environment? The experience was transcendent. Different levels of visibility brought a different awareness to the actual experience of the place: the walls of the valley were thrown into sharper relief and became towering and immediate monuments that could then suddenly drift back into the foreground allowing for closer introspection of the immediate landscape- the trees, the water, the rocks. Colors fluctuated from being vivid and flashy to cool and muted. Even in moments where the gloom and shadows of the valley were accentuated by the sinking sun, the glow left behind by the absence of direct light only left me with an impression of how much depth there was to my surroundings. Visibility, in Yosemite, as in life, depends on your perspective.
