.....We walk in a world that is strange and unknown, and in the midst of the crowd we still feel alone. we question our purpose, our part and our place, in this vast land of mystery suspended in space. we probe and explore and try hard to explain, the tumult of thoughts that our minds entertain ... but all of our probings and complex explanations, of man's inner feelings and fears and frustrations, still leave us engulfed in the "mystery of life", with all of its struggles and suffering and strife, unable to fathom what tomorrow will bring ...but there is one truth to which we can cling, for while life's a mystery we can't understand, the "great giver of life" is holding our hand. (poem - The Mystery of Life by Helen Steiner Rice) Photograph Derbyshire UK.

Patti, beautiful picture and poem as well. The combination makes it really wonderful! The picture can be put in a frame but the poem not, and that makes it a pity. Regards, Cornelius

A very nice pic, love the misty quality. The only thing I would have changed is I would have cropped off that tree trunk on the left...do a crop on it and take a look. Nice work even though.

This is a mysteriously beautiful winter landscape, all hazy and soft. I really like it, but I too would have cropped that black trunk, as it detracts from the overall look for me. great capture. :)
