ferry


water knows nothing
of borders

water knows nothing
of place
or thing

    I wonder - water seems so alive somehow. I like thinking it knows...

    this makes me wonder about the bear or the swan or the raven. what do they know? the cherry blossom, the raspberry, snow? and we - what do we know of place or thing? perhaps we know less than what we think but yet get caught behind belief.

    wonderful shot, steven. it took me quite some time to see it as a shot and not as a painting of different fields of colour.

    water as part of nature knows a lot. this is in my own opinion. when they know they are treated nicely, they give us something good in return, fish and plant for food. but, when they are treated badly, they give us worst that what we have caused them.

    i love the picture...

    I often think that Steven - and the same can be said of wild animals too.

    pailine my sense of water is that it knows nothing other than itself which if you think about it, is a part of almost everything - it simply is. steven

    WOW even cooler the closer one gets! I love it far away best- it is like a layered textured wonderland scene, Japanese, of course - silvery moon - copper stars scattered about.Subtle harmonious colours. I do love this so much.
