The Art of Nature

Great astonishing shot!, did you use 3 frames for this?

Yes -;0)

Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind. - Magdalena Abakanowicz

Been so busy, still catch a few driving to work in the morning - this was sunrise a few days ago - no way I was not going to stop!
