the opposite of wabi sabi (an exalted unhuman view on a grand scale) but a beautiful shot.

Handsome image that's a symphony of textures, shapes and light. Seems to be ice involved here, but I can't really figure out what it all is. No matter. Nice composition, divided off-center, as it is, and subdivided again on the right. The lower right could easily be a range of receding mountains, overhung by an enormous storm cloud. It seems to be part of a whole that is particularly beautiful and evocative. It's the stunning offhand beauty and delicacy that catches the eye of someone who sees openly. All that being said, I feel that to a somewhat significant extent it's the enchanting blue that draws the eye in, at least at first. I'm uncertain about this, it's highly subjective, and hope that the photographer (you) understands this.

One of my favorites, I love so much about this image. The person at the bottom of the stairs give this amazing staircase a prospective to the size. The starburst sun lends to the lighting. A wonderful image corner to corner.
