This beautiful exploration image is Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah. The photographer, Frans Lanting, took a series of photographs on assignment for National Geographic magazine’s issue of “In canyon country”, published March 2007. This image is fantastic,
Lanting shot a moment in which the reflection of the water is painted on the wall. The water is partly colored brilliant green and the reflection depicts a beehive pattern on the wall.
Lanting is one of the great nature photographers of our time. At the same time, I feel his photographs have some differences from other nature photographers because his approach is to document wildlife and our relationship with nature. His recent work “Life: a journey though the time” represents the evolution of life on the earth. He shows us an endangered ecological system through his beautiful photographs. He gives audiences a message on how human beings maintain our natural systems.

How amazing. It's like a beehive or some veil or anything. He registered the very beauty and magic of the place. REally perfect. Could never understand how people manage take pictures of such things. I could never succeed with landscapes :( Guess, I am too much faces-oriented
ReplyDeleteAn ethereal image! It is almost an abstract. The way it is framed captures the light and its reflection perfectly and it seems to be almost timeless. It is difficult to tell just what it is that is being photographed. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing picture! The way the water is captured, the calmness of it and the nice green area, and the beehive image on the wall is amazing. It almost takes a few minutes to see what is actually being photographed, but once you do you see it's true beauty.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great example of a modern fleeting vision in a place where we expect solidity.
