Can't say I ever saw anything Mr. White did that got me excited. This one started me thinking about a lot of years ago and my own endeavors, when I looked to him for guidance. Decided to look instead to work by folks such as you. Enjoyed the trip and your vision. Thanks for sharing your vision and your travels.

This is beautiful. I find this beautiful, elegant, refined, acting on the imagination, etc. What makes it so appealing? I can't say.

LOL @ Ray :-) Excellent light and shadowplay. It's amazing to be inspired and make your own interpretation, turning something ordinary into another work of art. Thanks for the great link too.

Minor is smiling somewhere, Kal. When I took a week-long workshop with him at Hotchkiss in 1974 -- just two years before his death, he told us to "be still with ourselves until the object of our attention reaches out to recognize us." I look at this image, and I feel you must have done exactly that -- just quietly watched nature enter this house and take a seat at the window. And when it announced itself to you, you made this image of it. Minor also taught us that a photograph is not the end product, but rather a beginning. Nothing happens, he said, until an image enters the imagination of a viewer, and they make their own art out of what they see. I think that this photo will do very well in that regard. It forces us to see nature as an ephemeral house guest.
