Many talk about a direct connection with nature, or with their chosen deity (which, of course, *is* nature for many). This bond is most often described verbally, as visible detail - especially photographic - is tough to find. And though there may be passion in the words, nothing evokes visceral awe and appreciation for our coupling with spiritual power quite like an image. An image exactly like this one.
Yes, the landscape as a whole is a gorgeous sight...your treasure chest of digital mountain-top souvenirs for us sea-level folk is a joy. But there is more here...and kudos to the genius in your approach to find it; you've kept the image dark, focusing our attention on human, the sun, and the light that binds the two. Even the mountains have parted in honor of this calm, powerful communion, spreading aside and giving way for an uphill flow of golden wisdom.
There is a 'man meets mountain' aspect to this image; but I feel a more primal discussion is also captured: provider meets seeker. Thousands of hectares in this photo, but it all comes down to an enlightened thread of understanding between the two main subjects. Wonderful. I am an Admin for *ABW* Gallery - one of the best kept secrets on Flickr, and we would be honored to display "Expedition to the Oberland 14" with our collection of phenomenal photography. Please visit the *ABW* Gallery home page and you will see that your image will find excellent company; especially if you like your own work ;-)
Congratulations!

Surfwax - many thanks for the comment and the invitation - both an honour. Alas, how very far this image falls short of the reality .... you are right, though, it was a very special experience skiing down that glacier at sunrise. Not one would expect to repeat in a lifetime....

In case I die in my sleep tonight ~~ actually it's nearly dawn, so it would be while I'm in bed this rainy morning ~~ I want you to know, kind Captain, that your eyes are blazing beacons on Flickr and your instincts are sharper than crampons. Everything surfwax said is stitched onto this image like fine gold embroidery, and whatever I add can only be superfluous embellishment. Your picture is a monument to mountains and mountaineers, to photography, and to unspeakable beauty in nature. I salute you, Captain.

Many thanks for the encomium, coyrooster. High praise indeed for a humble compact camera with an alpine droog behind it. Yet how far the image falls short of the reality, alas....
David/. (51 months ago | reply)
The depth in this is remarkable, Cap'n. I'd love to see a print...
Alpine Light & Structure (51 months ago | reply)
Haven't dared to print yet, David/. .... taken with a compact camera, so the output of this lens is best viewed kind of small, on the web....
