A Moment of Perfect Beauty

An early morning round of golf revealed this spot and this moment of complete serenity in the middle of a park in New Orleans. Alligators inhabit this lagoon, and occasionally we can't use our tee-box because of a pair of seven-foot denizens who prefer to enjoy the sun here. It's OK, though. I understand their desire to enjoy the warmth and beauty of this urban golf-course.

#12 in the South Louisiana Series

I love the light in this shot. I didn't even read your description, I just looked at the image full scale and when I saw the light shining through the trees i just knew it was early morning. Early morning light just has such a distinct characteristic. I love how if gives off a safe and peaceful look but at the same time there's gators in there! :o)
Great shot, I love it.

There's an emptiness inside her and she'd do anything to fill it in. Though it's red blood bleeding from her now, it's more like cold blue ice in her heart. She feels like kicking out all the windows and setting fire to this life. She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright, but all the colors mix together...to grey. ~*DaveMatthewsBand*~

Idk if this would be a good example of my "perfect beauty" but Its an extremely peaceful shot and a pretty good desktop...I'm probably just about these kinds of landscapes being in Georgia. Good job ;)

This is a wonderful picture, it seems to capture what I have always thought New Orleans would look like, or at least the swamps! I really would like to see this area in person, GREAT JOB! :)
