Blue is true and beautiful!

Hear the tinkling of ice. Feel the kiss of cold, still air while the soft, creamy touch of a gardenia caresses your soul. And the isolation, the isolation foreshadows the exquisiteness of death.

Awsome natural beauty, created by an awsome God.

This photograph is a mood altering, meditational inspiration experience. Thus, it is photography as art. I like it very much for these reasons.

Usually, I use photography as a work horse; a depiction of life and how man lives, the conditions life is exist in - a form of photojournalism - to document, record. A work horse used by humans for greater understanding. That is why I love photography.

But this photograph is ART. It works as art and it is an example of how photography can be true art.

This is a balletic symphony of blue that draws me in and around the softness and beckons me to enter into the cold inner sanctum. It is a very moving, enveloping experience.

Surreal - - almost looks more like a painting than a picture. Love it!
