Upside - Down Photo

Photographer’s Note

The world is turned over...

The shiny strip across the top third is the ocean, and thus:

The ocean is above the clouds, the trees are under the ocean. The sky is between the trees. The sun lights the snow from below.

Shot at Cypress Mountain, in the North Shore mountains above Vancouver. Cropped, since my zoom couldn't get this tight.

Hello Andrew,

Fantastic vision, magnificently conceived, masterfully exposed — a veritable surrealistic scene, and indeed, one of my favorite photos already on Trekearth. I wish there were more points available to assign!

Warm regards, Bulent

We just got back from New York. I will post a book to you soon, and as soon as I can scan them a number of good views of Rudi and Eugenia.

Hello, Andrew--

Nice work, the framing is great, and the light on the clouds is very interesting. i also like the monochromatic blue color scheme with a hint of orange for interest.

Thanks!

this is a very good POV. clever putting the camera between the trees. the clouds below you are really enchanting. i have been to vancuver but only downtown, i still love it but did not have the chance to travel further maybe i will after seeing your album here on TE
