It took me quite a bit of time to find this eccentric tree. What felt like being lost on a mystical journey, finding this tree was an endeavour that was worth the drive. As I approached this tree and recognized its individuality, I realized that it was worthy of a great photograph which would show off its unique features. With this came having to patiently wait for the sun to move to the perfect spot which would then appear to have the entire tree glistening due to the sun’s rays. This beautiful shot was worth the long wait as it is scenes like this which reveal the beauty and uniqueness of the trees in our world.
Bodies of water can separate two different worlds. We can see this by how oceans separate seven continents and on each continent, different types of people with differences in culture, styles, foods, and traditions exist. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine how this Earth occupies seven billion people and how we are separated through land and water.
When taking this photograph, this phenomenon hit me. This lake which runs under the Golden Gate Bridge separates two different worlds. One is suburban and the other is a city with busy lives and tall skyscrapers.
The land is just a few miles away from one another, yet the atmosphere is completely different.
Some ships set sail and never return, then hiding under the covers of the dark and sparkling night. In Point Reyes, an abandoned ship lays under the day’s sun and the night’s stars. This spot had always spiked my interest as I knew of its potential and magical appearance revealed during the nighttime. There was a low tide and falling stars sparkling on this late night. The small haze of light from the horizon with the sky darkening as it progressed upward, produced a spectacular photograph.
As I waited for the dull and somber clouds to fade, they soon became a part of the picture I wanted to capture. When the wavelength of light reflected onto the clouds, it brought the picture to life through brightening the atmosphere, darkening the powerful rocks, and displaying the water as a cool and still blue. The similar appearance between the calm water and silk clouds, both being smooth and leveled, presents an eye-catching contrast when transitioning between the water and sky. The aged and rugged rocks protruding out of the water with hills nearby made me feel like I was visiting all of my favorite elements at once.
