As usual, Shital - I love this! I often notice those little cables of light and try to photograph them, but they never truly represent the quality and character. You did a good job conveying the quality of light. Have a great day!

Love it! I feel you, Shital.

To me, witnessing light has become an anchor to the present moment. An excuse to slow down and cherish what's already present and I usually ignore. It's almost an act of revolution in a fast speed world! Sometimes we take things for granted, such as light.

Thanks for capturing this through words and through your photos. Wonderful work 🙏

I pay closer attention to my surroundings...

Something that is lost on many people in this day and age of internet, the hustle and bustle of life, the rush of the almighty dash for cash.

I agree life has become fast paced and like some race sometimes. I am glad photography is there to fall back on. Thank you for your comment.

I enjoyed this a lot. Actual notice patterns in the quality of life in the various spaces I am in to sound dangerous, but are used to live with a 30 minute drive through tall redwood and for forest, and in the evening the fog and roll in, and it would put a dusting of light . reflections in the boughs of the trees. I would occasionally look up and follow this magic as I drove home on my curvy roads that I knew so well. It was pretty special the other thing I’ve done along the same lines is sort of like a video version where I see my view in these tall trees as they dance around me because of my motion through them. I think this is what airplane pilots see what is the clouds when they’re flying. It gives the trees in this case or the clouds in their case a certain level of animation.

I really like that you Rumi in your posts and that it inspires you to do what you do.

Yes you got the animation part right Greg! And the clouds and the pilots as well. Did not think of that one so thank you bringing that up here. Must be also a lovely sight. Thanks much for stopping by
