I have led you on with a bit of a trip with my Images these past few days. For those just tuning in, I am traveling towards the Peace Pagoda of Grafton,MA thru a short peace trail. Here, just before a short embankment climb to the large open field where the Pagoda lies is this very very strange woodland scene.
After I came upon the area, my thoughts were how to put my vison of all these elements together and hopefully have some cooperation with natures lighting. The devotion rockpile was precariously stacked and the colors and shades of the rock held a lot of harmony against the father tree and background saplings. So I went low and up and framed the devotion rocks under one of the arms of the father tree.
Then it was time to wait for the sun to hide behind some very shallow clouds to diffuse the light. The waiting game begain as I waited for an hour for the proper light. I have dozens of impatient shots of this image of the sunlight breaking thru all the tree leaves and casting a mottled layer of bright light and shade spots which distract for the content of this image.
My wait was but a moment in time. Can you imagine, how long it has taken for that piece of rectangular granite now sandwiched between the crux of the tree to inch skyward in these woodlands. And now this odd hurtful looking tree commands a final image to the entrance of one of only two Peace Pagodas in the US…….
