 The title is a line from the Tao Te Ching, as translated from Chinese by Jane English. The edition that I have is illustrated with photographs by Jane English. This photograph reminded me of the style of photography in that book: very simple, black and white, high contrast images from nature. I hope you like it.

I like this shot. I think it could have been presented alittle better. The overall contrast is kinda muddy but it is a good composition!

Miles Davis is said to have 'played the spaces between the notes,' This reminds me of that.
