Into Our Depths

An image is not of itself, nor is it for itself.
It rather springs from the thing whose
reflection it is
and belongs to it with all its being

Very ethereal image. The pier is just sort of floating in the vibrant color. Nice work. Helen

So sorry about the spelling of your name in the previous post Stephane--daniel

Thank you Stephanie for your comments, they are much appreciated. As for the text---Eckhart, over the centuries has been indentified with about every system of Relegion/Philosophy known to man, including aspirants of "Zen" as you have mentioned---Enjoy!...daniel

Text and pictures are Zen. I’m not a fan of oversaturated colors but in this case, it works very well.
