Nature’s Cathedral
i
see that
gold and green is striped
by
heavenly reaches of timber
the forest floor swept with life
the light and shade sharing
passage
in
nature’s airy cavern of open air
yes
one can say a prayer
that one is
blessed

Commentary
Technicals
some exposure adjustment, the tiniest touch of saturation, and that’s it –
no cropping, sharpening, or tilting
just a lucky beauty of a shot 😉
Leddy Park
by texas standards, leddy park here in burlington vermont is almost walking distance from our apartment, and certainly a close-by drive to get to
admission season is over, so anyone can drive on in to the huge almost hidden parking area –
an enclosed ice skating arena sits between the parking lot and lake champlain and views of the adirondacks
my wife grew up nearby there, and it’s a treat hearing her talk about trips she took there with her dad as a child
Choosing a Title
i hesitated titling this image poem “nature’s cathedral” but it fit so well, i just couldn’t not name it so
the canopy of shade and light is like stain glass i think, with some romanesque arches at the top of the frame – the image of this spot being a cathedral, nature’s cathedral, was immediate
sometimes, giving in to one’s first impulse is far and beyond the right thing to do 😉

well i think frankenstorm is your primary thing right now, and yes, hope you keep power!
we’re getting all our stuff picked up tue am, movers say they’re used to it and can move us in heavy rain and wind, we’ll see 😉
flying out wed afternoon, still supposed to be pretty windy then, but whatever, right? safe is best 😉
re the copy, i thought you’d gone over to RG2E to put in for a free copy of the new book, “the children” – i can send you a voucher for amazon or barnes & noble, it’s probaby the most fun i’ve had writing something in many many a year (try decades! 😉 )
stay safe with your family brian and we’ll try to do the same when the storm gets up here, but ya’ll are getting much harder they say – take care 😉
