A Point of View?

This picture, taken at our last hiking tour, was meant to be posted on my next Wordless Wednesday but I struggled, so much came to my mind. The truth needed to be revealed because at first glance the message would be misleading.

A frozen fruit, a relict of last summer, a rosehip covered with the first snow.

A beauty in color, a still-life so freely given by nature.

Oh, what an eye for simple beauty I have!

But, I wasn’t the only one, and neither was I the first one to see it.

Truth to be told. I was the last to notice it.

I had been busy taking pictures of human chaos.

This is the 21st century. Cameras everywhere, taken pictures that soon will be forgotten and never looked at again.

As usual, I avoided faces and got lucky!

There it is the truth:

It was all but a still-life, all but a quiet hike in nature. Look at them. Everybody was eager to get the best shot, the best angle, the best zoom-in.

Well, I think I won! I took a picture of the truth!

  5. When someone sees that someone else is taking a photograph of something picture worthy, it raises eyebrows and cameras. The rosehip was a beautiful capture. 🙂

    • The rosehip was beautiful. It was an old cemetery and the climbing rose guards where everywhere.
