Time Passing

Because they are primeval, because they outlive us, because they are fixed, trees seem to emanate a sense of permanence. And though rooted in earth, they seem to touch the sky.
For these reasons it is natural to feel we might learn wisdom from them, to haunt about them with the idea that if we could only read their silent riddle rightly we should learn some secret vital to our own lives; or even, more specifically, some secret vital to our real, our lasting and spiritual existence.
- Kim Taplin, Tongues in Trees, 1989, p. 14.

    G’day Brigusser!

    None of the usual over sharpening artifacts! None of the usual digital noise in the sky!
    What this very fine silhouette landscape does have is good subject matter, impact, mood, good composition, clarity, balance, good contrast and wonderfully natural colours and tones.
    Beautiful work man!
