Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
from Desiderata by Max Ehrmann (1872-1945)
The weather was simply too beautiful to stay inside today, so I took my camera out to a local park to photograph, just for the sheer joy of capturing the image. As I sat near the small lake, my eye was drawn to the reflections of the columns in the water; I then noticed that the ripples of the water are projected onto the columns, creating a double reflection. The symmetry of the lines and curves and the muted brown and grey tones brought to mind this line from the poem Desiderata (“essential things”).

Fantastic!

I love the reflections there in both water and above bridge. Beautiful capture of all.

This is STUNNING!
Beautiful. There is a large piece at the Phoenix Art Museum that this reminds me of. I wish I could recall the artist and/or title. It’s a photo.
I need to check it out. Are you in Phoenix?
Yes, we’ve “talked” before. I’m in Phoenix, also from Indiana ages ago.
Happy new year and best wishes to you and yours for health, happiness, peace & prosperity in 2015!
Thank you very much. I wish you the same.
