Hidden Elephants

[Artur Stanisz]

aka "Stillness"

Here is another one from my most recent escapade to Mt. Seymour.
The accompanying silence disturbed from time to time by the burst of the sunlight was bringing to life all the elements of the landscape: the snow was becoming more vivid, the trees were turning into quasi-alive, almost human-like creatures. Even though the whole process was developing and recurring in almost absolute silence, I could still feel that omnipresent energy coming from the sun.

Wonderful Artur - I think I like this one even better than the other one. I like that the trees are larger in the scene and how the sun fills the open spot between them.

 

[Zeph]

Agreed, this comp shines... The Sun's defused brilliance coupled with the evergreens frozen burden makes a great view sitting here next to the wood stove.

'Nuther nod to this one Artur - I love the shapes of pristine snow in a scene like this where none of it has fallen off the trees since the storm stopped.

Hey Artur,

What a really sweet shot! I think I may still prefer the first one better, but man this is so good also!

 

[Leslie Hunter]

I love it!

 

[Mike Mancil]

I like the human element in the first one but this is moody and excellent as well. Is that Gumby there on the front row?

 

[Ben Egbert]

Great shot, I see here the full power of winter and can just imagine what you had to do to get here. The fog, the snow the trees and the sun all work together to create a magic mood.

 

[Guy Schmickle]

Very magical. Can't go wrong with either image you posted in this area.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Very nice, Artur. I like this one a bit better as well.

 

[Darcy Grizzle]

I love it & I do see another elephant . Beautiful imagery Artur!

 

[Bob Denton]
