Description We climb ever skyward, lifting our faces to the clouds.


I took this photo on a rainy day several months ago. I had to stoop and bend at a very strange angle to get this upward view of a rain-covered tree branch, but I think it was worth it!


Full view is best.

This is so very cool! Like it could be straight out of a Jack-and-the-Beanstalk story....

A lot of people dont like lifting their faces to the clouds. Or better they dont feel that need. They just look at the ground and at the surface of things. They never look up at the sky or see beyond the border. This behavior shows you several things about their nature. Our nature/character is our destiny after all. So, there are also many people that instead feel the need to see beyond the border, where there aren't fragments nor boundaries.
I do like the concept of this shot, and the angle of course

That's a very interesting thought. Some people can go through life without ever appreciating the wonders all around them because they are too fixed on one single perspective. While this isn't necessarily wrong, I think life is a lot more interesting when we notice the colors in the sky. When I see a particularly beautiful sunset, with the clouds streaking across the sky in ephemeral, ever-changing patterns, I can't help but stare upward. I get a little self-conscious about it sometimes. I'll just be walking down the sidewalk with my head tilted up while everyone else just looks straight ahead. Sometimes I feel as if the sky could just swallow me whole. It is so large, so grand, so endless, I can barely understand its vastness.

Thank you!

As I wrote previously, it's all a matter of people's nature. In the world just like with people, there's nothing wrong, there isn't anything that is fair or unfair. Simply everyone's just finding their way. We have our innate nature, and we follow that. I like your feeling about the world around and especilly to the sky, my favorite subject of shots And I love your thought and writing, linked to the shots. I've noticed that your shots have always a great meaning in it. The sky is a wonderful metaphor of this world and our material life, it's perpetual fleeting and changing, it's one but always different. Who got this sensitivity, like you and me, got a great gift by nature. We have to take care of it.
I think, you got a wonderful potential inside you.
