The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it. -Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring
bit of a shame that the definition and clarity of the sky doesnt compare with the excellent foreground detail but thats just a minor concern in respect of the image as a whole. well done.
This is a superb landscape. It has enough to hold your interest but not enough to be confusing. The darkish clouds with sunlight foreground are a killer combination.
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
P.S. Are the people of Lapland called Laplanders? hehe that is what my dad used to call me as a little kid because I would always want to be up on his lap!
