3abbas' photostream

The snow began to melt today, the wonderful views were last night, in which I couldn't get out !!

Taken with Nikon D200, ND filters were used
Armani Sunglasses helped me a lot :P

After almost 3 months, I returned back to flickr : )
This photo was taken in a small town near Manhattan. It is called St. George. It is a very small and natural town. Everything is natural, they even have old mills for their own use. Many farms and stables are nearby. The river is called Kansas River AKA Kaw. It passes through 17 cities and almost 6 counties.

Technical Specs:
Nikon D200
Nikkor 18-70 f/3.5-4.5 IF ED
Circular Polarizer and ND 8 filters used
No tripod

The philosophy of the photo (Basically):
1. The sea is considered as the existing knowledge
2. In order to gain any of this knowledge you have to know how to enter it.
3. There are two methods to enter this place:
a. By swimming in it
b. By walking on that bridge
4. Swimming needs learning to swim, in order to gain the ability of swimming.
5. If one does not know how to swim, he can follow the bridge.
6. The bridge is to be considered as the ordinary academic levels (Intermediate, High school etc..)
7. The bridge can make you gain a very few piece of knowledge (considering it doesn't cover all the sea)
8. Swimming is considered as reading and self-learning.
9. In order to gain all the knowledge you have to start reading (swimming)
10. Anyone can understand all the knowledge in the world, so it's just a matter of time. In this way, it is somehow impossible to swim all over the oceans and seas. So, one can aim big and get some of it.

Behind broken windows ..
Burned walls ..
Smashed doors ..
And struggled lights ..
Yet again, friendship always remains : )
