Of Earth & Moon

Image
"Of Earth & Moon"  Copyright Julie Nygaard 2018 Digital Photography Manipulation - Canon T5 "How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! Here we will sit and let the sounds of music Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night Become the torches of sweet harmony.  Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold: There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st But in his motion like an angel sings, Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins,  Such harmony is in immortal souls; But whilst this muddy vesture of decay Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it." - Lorenzo, Acte V, Scene 1 William Shakespeare   The Merchant Of Venice

La Rama

"La Rama" 2018 Copyright Julie Nygaard Digital Photography Manipulation - Canon T5 "When Great Trees Fall"  "When great trees fall,  rocks on the distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses,  and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests,  small things recoil into silence,  their senses  eroded beyond fear. When great souls die,  the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly,  see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened,  examines,  gnaws on kind words unsaid,  promised walks never taken.  Great souls die and  our reality, bound to  them, takes leave of us. Our souls,  dependent upon their nurture,  now shrink, wizened. Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance,  fall away.

El Humedal

"El Humedal" 2018 Copyright Julie Nygaard Digital Photography Manipulation - Canon T5 "Thoreau - "The patron saint of swamps" because he enjoyed being in them and writing about them said, my temple is the swamp... when I would recreate myself, I seek the darkest wood, the thickest and the most impenetrable, and to the citizen, most dismal swamp. I enter a swamp as a most sacred place, a sanctum, sanctorum.... I seem to have reached a new world, so wild a place... far away from human society. What's the need for visiting far-off mountains and bogs, if a half-hours walk will carry me into such wildness and novelty. "  -Henry David Thoreau   Walden and other writings 

Awakening - Mud Season

"Awakening - Mud Season" 2018 Copyright Julie Nygaard Digital Photography Manipulation - Canon T5 "She made beauty all around her. When she trod on mud, the mud was beautiful; when she ran in the rain, the rain was silver. When she picked up a toad - she had the most strangest and, I thought, unchanciest love for all manner of brutes -  the toad became beautiful."  - C.S. Lewis  Till We Have Faces
