The light, as well as the dark

Sometimes you just have to wander. Stepping outside today, into one of the brightest of the year, it was not the light I found myself interested in, but it’s interaction with what we take as given, as solid. Where light fell on gates and trees and grass there was beauty, but what I found more intriguing, more satisfying, was where the shadows were cast, and the resulting formations of light and dark. The shadows are transient, unreal, intangible. You can not pick then up or up put them down. They only last until the moment the sun moves on, when a new pattern is created and a new image. The camera then captures intensities, angles and form in a way that nature may never again be able to recreate. And that I think is something of beauty.
