Sunrise on Foxtail Road

Posted by
Denny Jump (Bellevue, WA, United States) on 26 August 2013 in Plant & Nature.

Caught this on one of my alternate routes going to work last week. Foxtails always make perfect complimentary subjects, and the sunrise and fog really provided some awesome stage lighting for all :-)

** Staples Singers - "Respect Yourself"

- " We do not move forward from a middle opinion, which is undemocratic but mediocratic.
We advance from a creative passion "- (Edgar Morin)

- "To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at
that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson.

::Words from Denny:
- My beliefs, and values, have always been strongly tied-to music, especially Jazz, and Blues.
- The following artists and lyrics seem to "sum-up" where my spirit resides:
EARTH WIND AND FIRE;
"HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRIT,
ALWAYS FEEL YOUR SOUL....
HONOR THE MAGIC IN YOUR HEART"
; Earth Wind and Fire

this is awesome, denny! the golden morning light and the spectral silhouettes of the vine covered trees take me back to my "tobacco harvest times" in southern ontario, when i would see a similar picture many mornings on the way to the dew-drenched tobacco fields ... ;-)
hope you had a great time in seattle !!!
