(Yes, it's blurry on purpose).
Heraclitus, the Greek philosopher, said you can't enter the same river twice. "We both step and do not step in the same rivers. We are and are not." It will never be the same river, and it will never be the same person.
This fleeting landscape reminds me of that quote, and I'll let you ponder why.
It was taken somewhere in Palencia, in the winter.
Resized in PS CS3.
I hope you enjoy it! |

This is a bit desolate for my liking. It has very limited variation, no foreground as such, and miserable lighting. It would be a good image to describe loneliness or isolation; certainly it is not an inviting scene. The motion blur only makes it more abstract and dizzying for me. It almost looks like a sort of depressing version of a Van Gough painting. Interesting note however.
