untitled observation v3

Comment by ubique:
This is my choice for best photograph. Here is something that a photograph can do, that a painting cannot. And as an artwork (and it is an artwork) it repays repeated reflection on the part of the beholder, in fact I'd suggest endlessly. Time and tide provide the materials; the photographer provides the vision, the curiosity; and the camera provides a net to catch it in.

That's when photography becomes art, when it's a transformative process, when it makes something of something else. Mere recording is never art.

I think you instinctively know all this, hence the use of "observation" in your title, and the implied restlessness of the "v3" part.

Thank you.

Oh my goodness, it looks like forest in my neck of the woods. I live right in the middle of a huge pine forest and the tree people have been busy harvesting all the pines around us. This company seems to have better and safer practices. Last year we lost 10 acres of pine and hardwood due to the company̢۪s carelessness. The fire was very close to our house and we lost some beautiful oak, maple, dogwood and cherry trees.
