Description - euphoric abundance -

Where do you go to escape societies norms?

Amidst the daily life, is there someplace you dream about?
Where can you escape? Disappear? Spend an eternity and never come back?

This is euphoria. In all it's abundance.

Escape. Take a risk. Get away from it all.

eu·pho·ri·a: A feeling of great happiness or well-being.
a·bun·dance: Fullness to overflowing: “My thoughts... are from the abundance of my heart” (Thomas De Quincey).

::

'Went on a very long hike, to get away from it all. It was amazing. So silent out in the forest, miles away from anything. Cell phones didn't work, and no cars or people could be heard. It was truly paradise finding this amazing waterfall in the middle of such a dense forest. The Columbia River Gorge is one of the worlds largest areas of lava tubes, and has the highest concentration of waterfalls than anywhere else in the world. I brought my tripod with me just so I could capture such beauty, but I never knew it would be this spectacular. The sun was going down quickly when I took this shot and it really added to the tonal range for the picture. I had been thinking a lot about my sociology class lately and being out in the woods really brought about a lot of feelings about how I needed to get away from everything more often.'

I think this scene shows the lush abundance of the forest. It shows how euphoric all the water and fana is. Really, a place where we all could go and stay. A place to run and hide, when everything else isn't what it should be. Isn't life just one full of times where we wish we could just escape?

I bring this to you, now's your chance...

Escape.

Just, relax.
Have a great day, with love, Aaron.

Thank you.
Viewing this image just made me feel several emotions at once.

Happy, that such a place exists.
Envious, that I wasn't there to share the scene.
Sad, that it might or will not last forever, or at least, for a long while.

Beautiful.

Aaron, this is far and away my favorite shot in your gallery. The abundant green imagery compounded with the white, silky streams of the waterfall creates a real ethereal quality. Compositionwise, it's also perfect, balanced with both precision and care. I hope you find the time to post some new pics soon. I've noticed you haven't posted for a while.

Thank you very much.

I too wish to find the time soon.

Money has made me work. I haven't found the time to pull away from work because without work I can't do many of the other things I love.

But, in the days I do get off...I fill it in with other things that demand even more attention, like my friends, my car and school.

Thank you for your comments. I wish to get back!

hey Aaron, sorry for the delay in response. I accidentally overlooked your message when replying through my list. Yes, life gets busy and we all have to take care of our work duties. Looks like you've got your priorities in the right order. It was my pleasure to leave a comment. Like I said, I love seeing your progress. Hopefully, you'll find more spare time in the future to spend on photography. In the meanwhile, I'll wait patiently but expectantly for your next update. Take care, and it's nice to meet you. Have a wonderful day!

Aww, there's nothing more beautiful than nature! Love the green here and how you captured the creek ... I could stare at this forever ...
for sure
PS: The only thing bugging me a little is the position of your signature. I wouldn't have put it above the title and not on the left-hand side either. But that's just me

OneBloomPhotography In reply to soulskater [2004-05-17 02:52:38 +0000 UTC]

for this, it's a caligraphy like font...

and my signature, is done on a tablet, transferred into Illustrator, then I imported it into photoshop, and scaled it to size.

m4x [2004-05-13 04:44:36 +0000 UTC]

it's a great pic. the greens are so rich and vivid, and contrast the almost pure white of the water brilliantly.

it's composed nicely, and i like how my eyes are drawn to the silhouetted plants growing out of the log. a pleasant reminder that there are such lovely spaces out there to be found, as i brace myself for another smoggy sweltering summer in the city.

Good to be back!

Thank you, yes the moss takes over the whole shot and the leaves/ferns really help to bring everything out.

Belive it or not...this really is the natural color. So vivid, and I think...well captured.
