Description
Maybe I shot 20 pictures within the roughly 60 minutes of time that elapsed, as the scenery changed, the light grew and life reappeared brighter. And then it became photographically dull. Not dull, from a being in nature sense just from taking more pictures here. As the sun reached higher, the steam on the water paled and finally vanished, and the hills lost their sharp contrast with the lake. Time may be captured in fleeting moments but what are we really able to hold, to grasp, to fully comprehend of it, laughter in the wind?
