"It is the silence, rather, that obliges the poet to listen, and gives the dream greater intimacy. We hardly know where to situate this silence, whether in the vast world or in the immense past. But we do know that it comes from beyond a wind that dies down or a rain that grows gentle."
Gaston Bachelard (1884 - 1962)

"While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die- whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness"
Gilda Radner (1946 - 1989)

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of all true art and science."
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

"You don't take a photograph, you make it."
Ansel Adams (1902 - 1984)

Words of wisdom, to go along with this beautiful creation. Looks like a forest in a fairy tale.

Reminds me of some of my favourite books as a kid, which were always about magical folk living in woods and trees. This is very atmospheric John.

I like all the names you used in the Chronicles of Johnarnia. It looks like the invisible layer that seperates reality for perceived reality. Great presentation Shads.

It reminds me of the house I grew up in, in Connecticut. It was on a hill overlooking a forest and a small river, and every spring I would watch from my bedroom window as the transformation from winter to spring, from tones of black, white and grey to green, occurred. There were two or three white dogwood trees on the hill and they looked so lacy and delicate in the surrounding riot of greenery. So... here it is in your work of art... So... thanks.
