light and shade

Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty,
just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.
John Ruskin

Indeed a great balance of light and shade, the misty background adds a great feel to this shot.

Ruskin. He was the super-Saatchi of his day, wasn't he. I'm sure he would have liked this.

yes, background mist and foreground shadow make a nice 'image sandwich'
Máire Uí Mhaicín08-Jan-2012 17:28
Ruskin had it right. So do you.
Zak08-Jan-2012 17:12
ah we might get that blue sky tomorrow now!
globalgadabout08-Jan-2012 17:04
grand gradient of light in this sweeping view...Ruskin would endorse your sense of chiaroscuro...V

Looks great , Mr Ruskin has said some very wise words there
Brian Samuel08-Jan-2012 16:57
Lovely view, and what a great place to live. Assuming it always looks this good of course.
J. Scott Coile08-Jan-2012 16:52
A smooth transition between the two!

Marvelous quote to suit this pastoral scene. The sky is stupendous.
