Essence of Peace
When I was out in this field shooting the sunrise, I thought to myself, if only everyone could fall in love with nature, there would be no room for war and hatred in the world.
As I was running around over the saturated grass, with saturated shoes, I forgot all my troubles as this magical moment happened. We were on our way to the Bunya Mountains National Park. When I returned to the car, reality kicked in, I had saturated shoes, and no spare ones!! It must have looked funny, socks jammed in the rear windows, and the shoes wedged in the roof racks to dry…

I can picture you and Rhondda driving down the road with your socks hanging out of your car windows and shoes on the top of your car hood ~ lol…...funny image but boy you sound like you had the best time at this field taking this image! Love your thought….wishing everyone could fall in love with nature because then there would be no room for war and hatred in the world….a utopia for sure but a sweet one! Excellent capture and sentiment friend! :)

excellent. just excellent….and the thoughts….”...if only everyone could fall in love with nature, there would be no room for war and hatred in the world.” True….so many sleepwalk through this life, eyes shut, half conscious, unfeeling, to the amazing simplicity of the miraculously complex…in such a sad state , anything unloving is the ‘norn’; even war….........

Beautiful shot and thoughts Adam, great title, I know that feeling of squishy socks and shoes, !! better to kick them off and go bare foot!! then if you step in a ‘pie’ you can just wash it off, not ruin your shoes!! you did say it was a cow pasture,didn’t you??haha,:o)) God Bless,Mae

You are so right. If only….. Love the story that accompanies this. As a child I remember my dad driving along on various occasions with various pieces of clothing flapping from a window. 3 young girls and adventurous parents – great combintation!!

Almost seems as if the thistle is reaching for the sun, coaxing it to hurry its way through the fog. Beautifully simple and simply beautiful. Indeed, more folks should learn to fall in love with nature. Then images like this would be considered sexy! LOL! Well done :)
