Photography - The Beauty of Living Art wood rock trees slate lake

Please click on images to view them in near 8x10 - they are stunning. There is simply NO other subject matter providing perfection beyond nature...not for me.

Perfectly calm....still....Perfection. Not a single one of the photos in this collection have been re-touched or *fixed* in ANY manner what-so-ever.

They appear as they were taken. Perfectly. Not that I am perfect; the subject matter is.

...a rock. No soil to be seen anywhere...and yet...a bush begins to renew in spring. Little tuffs of foliage growing. At times a single tree will be seen growing straight out of a rock; the roots find the water and need no soil. Amazing...

...I wish you could zooooom in on this photo to the hole in the center. An animal lives here...it is home to one; maybe later in summer a family of chip monks or ...?

...look at the natural colors of the wood! These roots; up-rooted by time, water and wind have become one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen!

...Personally, I have not seen any human made art that comes close to natures majesty and the awe it inspires.

...How many people really ever see a pine cone in this state? Early warm spring in N.W. Ontario, Canada...the Growth is most incredible to behold. The colors - reaching - straining - renewal...

...again...perfect art. The smells are also a part of this experience. The smell of freshest pine. The sounds of the Loons calling in the background & gentle breeze felt on skin. It is a true buffet for the senses.

One more for your viewing pleasure

This photo; taken at sunset over calm water has not been retouched in any manner. The purple hues can be seen in several photos I took that evening. I was amazed. At first, thinking there was something amiss with my camera, but no! -- this is the color the sun left us!

We stuck a paddle down...no bottom...? We got a long stick, 15 feet long at least...still no bottom. Nearly square - 8 feet by 5 feet and sooo deeply full of water in the midst of a pine-covered cliff.

How?

...Roots of a tree - Blown up to 8x10 - this is such an interesting picture it astounds me.

The colors in the roots come from the super high concentration of mineral content in this area.

The rocks are near impossible to pull out as the roots have grown around them so tightly.

...For those of you who appreciate this type of art and these types of pictures, will you PLEASE kindly tell me why you think I get such low hub score on these?

I have looked at severalother hubs doing this photo opp for November and there are very few words.

Are not the photos supposed to speak for themselves?

In any event - if you have ideas and/or comments for me; Please leave them and please follow me. I have literal skads of wild life photos for the world to see!
