This one has such a perfect "vacation photo" feel to it, and I don't mean that in a bad way. It just feels so disconnected in time and place. The wider context is not provided for the viewer, and it feels like that context is provided by those who were there at the time, that this scene, this moment, is complete to them, and I am an outsider looking in, glimpsing only a bit of what they saw, having not been there myself. What this photo conveys to me is done so through lack of communication. It says more by what isn't there than what is, and I really like that. The topography is very nice, with the sweeping hills leading off into the sky, hugging the lake. Very nice. |
