From glacier to stream to sea. Thorsmork valley, Iceland

Enjoy

Light and water bathe the leaves which fell last fall.
The elements of life recomposing.
The leaf become the tree.

Taken at a local park where bulldozers were pushing over dead trees that I normally see Kestrels perched in. Dead trees provide habitat for numerous living organisms, including fungi, mosses, lichens, invertebrates, birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.

We can easily recognize that this has a boss…humans.
This panoramic pinhole is one of many versions of the same type of city scene I repeatedly photograph year after year always with a feeling of how unnatural and repulsive the scene of tangled wires and mid-seventies cityscape is. I always ask why? Why photograph this mess? Does this scene provide a needed contrast in my brain so that I can recognize the beauty provided by the natural world? Experience and modern research suggests that the power of what we call the natural world or nature is innate. It is time we stop believing there are two worlds, the natural and the man made, and realize they are one and the same. Get out and enjoy nature.
