Dr. Barr,

I love this image, perhaps it looks like waves crashing on a beach--so many levels. I am sure the full size must be many times more impressive. I must confess though that this is my second favorite image, coming after an image I first saw in your blog of Saturday, January 27, 2007, The City As Subject, the one of criss-crossed light. I actually had an involuntary sharp intake of breath when I saw that beautiful image.

I have been reading your blog since you published your article on Luminous Landscape, which I found very thoughtful. It has helped me clarify my thinking and gave me new goals. Thank you also for maintaining this blog. Your advice has helped me tremendously.

Beautiful composition. It has a delightful ambiguity of scale as well - is it a giant scene viewed from above, or a miniature landscape. I guess it's the latter but the eye is momentarily baffled. The rocks do look like frozen water as well.

By the way, when will the next article in your LL series appear? Since the first article in January I've been looking forward to the subsequent ones.

Regards,

Alan

Well, I suppose me thinking of waves upon seeing this image isn't a unique impression. But that this formation was actually created by waves, and ended up being in their likeness, is even more intriguing!

In fact, the waves are lapping at the rocks and there is about an inch of water over the brownish gravel on the right.
