Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together. T. Carlyle
The tree was dead. I remember thinking it would make nice firewood, and I even yanked on the branches. It was ugly and, quite frankly, out of place.
And with the setting sun, I stand corrected.
Pay attention.
Everything is beautiful in its element, even if just for a moment.

I love a leafless tree as a silhouette with a beautiful sunset 🙂 🙂

hahaha. I feel the same way looking at it here. When we pulled in we kind of chuckled, it was the only tree around on the cliff edge, most likely because of the wind. I really was a photographer’s dream.

Thank you. We were so tickled to get this view. Way better than what would have been on TV at home.

That tree has found its perfect role in this world, as foreground interest in your sunset shot 🙂 I hope it stands proud for many more years and features in more photos too!

Yes. Felt like it was such a gift. And to have dinner under that tree was also a gift. Everything is beautiful in its element including us.

Blown away by your stunning image, Donna!
And after reading the post, my head is reeling from the power of your reflection. “Everything is beautiful in its element, even if just for a moment” – I am comforted & unsettled both at once by your words.
