"Jinsei". This photograph ranks as one of my favorites of all time! I had spent 2 full weekends in the Japanese Garden and had taken several hundred photos of this tree. But for the first time, a heavy mist rested in the garden for most of the morning... allowing slower shutter speeds and rich colors. Just as I was leaving, the sun broke through for about 10 minutes... and in a twist of patience and sheer luck, I managed to catch this shot from under the canopy of this old Maple tree. The word "Jinsei" is Japanese for "life" and this tree with the starburst represented the epitome of the cycle of life. The twisted, knotted branches, almost symbolic of veins returning life from the leaves to the tree for the winter months... and the starburst adds an element to this shot that's impossible to "photoshop" in. The brilliant Fall colors make this shot all the more captivating! For more on this shot, check out my blog posting at http://nicholaswhittall.com/2011/10/life-under-the-tree/
Spotlight The sun found a gap in the leaves, to shine down through the morning mists.
Even six months after my visit, the Alaskan Range still fascinates me. I look forward to returning.
