When we view a familiar landscape from a fresh point of view, we behold a new heaven and earth and are born again!


"All that is necessary to make any landscape visible and therefore impressive is to regard it from a new point of view . . . Then we behold a new heaven and earth and are born again, as if we had gone on a pilgrimage to some far-off holy land."

The Contemplative John Muir

For this shot, I decided to try a new perspective by leaning against the sandstone cliff and looking up at the fin-like rocks projecting from the top. The lichen coating the surface next to me made for a nice contrast!
