A surreal image, juxtaposing fantasy and reality. There are so many incongruities in this image -- the photographer is dwarfed by the landscape. He or she climbs on to a boulder to shoot a mysterious figure hiding behind a tree that is shaped just like the boulder. The cracks in the foreground lead us into the scene, while the clouds overhead carry our thoughts into the ether. The act of taking a picture itself is commonplace, yet your vantage point and the photographer's vantage point has made it incongruous, bizzare, surreal.
