The bold rock formation caressed by delicate flowers stretching far in to the hazy

background

walking a section of the Le Puy route which is part of the Camino de Compostelo in

France market days in the little towns were a highlight for me.

The stillness of this minimalist white-scape bathed in milk and moist is like a haiku poem - all is said in the spaces between words.

Thanks for your comments Jack. Most appreciated.

Clouds and more clouds changed familiar scenes in the West Coast Nature Reserve,

Cape Town

Cloud formations vied with the carpets of flowers to steal our senses on the West

Coast, Western Cape South Africa

I enjoyed your interaction with the image, Sandy!

Guillermo, I just love the play between shapes, shadow of the compositional structures that form a metaphor for the playfulness evoked by a child's freedom of motion on a swing. Freedom with the security of being anchored. Wonderful.

The pairing of the three trunks in the background, that seems to invite the lone one in the foregrant to make up a cluster, plus the shadows and textures are simply marvelous. A subtle comment on relationships, not only between elements of nature, but between people too. May I share this one as an inspirational piece of art?

I love your comment, Jack.

Not only the angle up against the stark roughness of this tree, but the post processing to emphasize the texture of the bark and the suggestion of power and abundance is what struck me and captivates my attention.

Regally beautiful this figure, a bold shape against the soft textures of the grass and dry branches of the bush

I was struck by the layers of stillness, only disturbed by the subtle texture of soft grass

waving the air.

Another view from my hiking boots in the Postberg Nature Reserve, Western Cape,

South Africa this weekend.

The mood evoked by this glorious full moon against the purply blueness with strange forms that could be human or other living shapes, just keeps me spellbound. Thanks for sharing.
