A counterpoint to Full Disclosure The is the same area from a different perspective. The first post showed a a strongly regimented and orderly scene; at first glance this seems to be the opposite of that. Let you eye move and divide the picture into segments and soon you will see what you have is a series of orderly designs laid on top of each other. I think we can say the same about our lives. The pace seems to get more frantic by the day, the world is in a bigger and bigger hurry. But when you stop and take a deep breath, allow your eye to drift over the big picture at its own pace it becomes easier to see the patterns that emerge. Take the time today to stop and look around. Look for the patterns of your life that overlie the pandemonium. Call someone special that you haven't talked to in a while and let them know you love them. Delight in the beauty that surrounds us ever day. To blantantly steal a great quote from Lee Ann Womack "And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance ". Rich

I have tied the laces on my shoes and I am ready to dance!

I agree with you. There are so many patterns before our eyes that much of the time they are not seen. I think that is one of the beauties of Caedes, the artists here do see the unseen, hear the unheard. You see it expressed with each upload. Where I fail at times, is to see the unseen as seen by others. You have a very thought provoking picture, again. Your title has obvious meanings and yet works as a pun. Everything is so very well done, Rich.

Nice sequel to 'Full Disclosure.' I agree with you about the patterns - in the picture and in life. God always has a plan and he is all knowing. We need to trust in His plan for our lives. Awesome commentary, Rich. Was this taken on the same day as the last? The weather looks about the same. Good work.

Very nice photo!
i love the way the trees look up against the sky and i loove the patterns of the headstones. I took pictures like this when me and my family visited the Arlington cementery in Washington.

Love the picture! :D

Excellent photo and narrative my friend. Knowing it was a military cemetery I knew there would be order. You captured it very nicely and it's thought provoking for the mind as well as the eyes. I might not dance, but I'll go golfing given the opportunity. Just kidding. Grandkids have a unique way to get you on the dance floor. Great post Rich.

A very nice follow up to Full Disclosure & I agree with your narration. I do like the patterns & everything appears in an orderly fashion. It is so easy to take life for granted that we never take time to look at the big picture or even the small things that can mean so much.

For the image itself, I would like to see some more contrast between the markers & snow to bring out the patterns more. It's probably just me though. The comp is perfect & B/W suits the image well to set the mood.

A great capture Rich & very nicely presented too.

A very good follow up on the previous posting, and quiet some narrative to !
Black and white has always been a favoured way of photograpy for me, and was the right choice to go by here. The contrast in this image is amazing and all grey tones show. Thanks for another good posting.

I guess you are right about the view depending solely on the perspective. The b/w really draws our attention to the patterns as would otherwise be overlooked somewhat in full color. Nicely done and I can't get over how many graves there are here. Sure gives one pause to reflect.
