Fire in the Woods

symphony of light

I took this photograph at Lost River Cave during a walk through the woods.  It was early afternoon and the sun was shining at the perfect angle.  My walk was very invigorating in that I was able to concentrate on seeing the beauty of autumn and feeling the warmth that comes from being in tune with nature.    

The Light Behind

For as long as I can remember, I have always been attracted to things that portray a sense of vibrancy and emotion.  However, the other day while I was taking a walk at Lost River Cave, I searched instead for a sense of stillness.  I paid particular attention to how the light affected the shades and shapes of the woods around me, and when I saw this tree, I couldn't help but feel moved by its bareness and its simple expression of beauty exemplified by the light behind it.
