蛇の木 The Serpent Tree.


This is the famous maple tree at the Portland Japanese garden. It's an older photo I recently got around to processing. I never intended to post because so many have a photo of it. However, after revisiting the photo I think the light and atmosphere are unique enough to share - I haven't seen a shot anything like it, and I really like it now.

"Soon the child’s clear eye is clouded over by ideas and opinions, preconceptions and abstractions. Simple free being becomes encrusted with the burdensome armor of the ego. Not until years later does an instinct come that a vital sense of mystery has been withdrawn. The sun glints through the pines, and the heart is pierced in a moment of beauty and strange pain, like a memory of paradise. After that day… we become seekers." - Peter Matthiessen
