Perseverance

Good series. This guardian is pulling the water and sky in , which in turn guides the viewers attention to him. These are so broody and mysterious.

 

Thanks for the nice comment. It is very much appreciated. Even though I cannot spend as much time here as I used to (I'm on winter break) I still enjoy viewing everyone's work. I've learned a lot from you and our friends. Thanks for all the support!!

This series was the culmination of a very trying episode in my life. My

wife went to Nigeria with Gabriel, and I have spent three very difficult

weeks alone, a fish out of water. Like a drunk man in a dark room, I

stumbled out to the Pacific Ocean where the mood of the ocean

matched my own melancholy. As I gazed across the expanse of the

great Pacific, in the company of the rugged rocks that have withstood

its fury for centuries, so much that was bubbling inside me boiled up to

the surface, and I sat in quiet contemplation of the wisdom of the ages,

the perseverance of the ocean, the resilience of the rocks, the pepetuity

of time. Perhaps, therein lay the answer to my questions, but I was in

no hurry to ask them.

Love it, great shot...

Your series of Moods reminds me that each of us is alone, solitude circled by the strength and indifference of the nature. Very well pictured! Kind regards! George

A pesar de su oscuridad esta llena de fuerza.

Love the dark atmosphere of this capture. It shows the raw power of nature to shape the environment. On wish I could see more detail in the center rock. All the best -matt

Having spent a lot of time abalone and free diving off the north coast, I really appreciate the feeling stirred in this photo. The clouds and waves communicate feelings of power, strength, isolation, peace and sometimes fear. I love and appreciate your photo for what it stirs in me. Thank you for sharing. Pierre

Beautiful .... touching.... warmest regards

A fine narrative and an image that truly seems to fit the narrative. Dark and brooding.

What a wonderful capture you presents here. Great exposure and contrasts. Regards LKV.

The image does convey "the mood" even without your beautiful narrative.

Let me watch it more...
