Description The trees in this photograph are being reflected on the surface of a small puddle on a gravel road. I saw this and got inspired while walking on that road.


There's and old zen buddhist proverb;

"When a person is young,
a tree is a tree,
water is water and
a mountain is a mountain.

Then as one gets better understanding,
a tree is no longer just a tree,
water is no longer just water
neither is a mountain just a mountain.

But if one really understands,
a tree is again a tree,
water is water and
a mountain is indeed a mountain."
