A Certain Slant of Lightby *LAlight

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Waterscapes

This rainy January scene from the Northwest definitely has that certain slant of light that Dickinson describes.

Along the Lake 22 Trail
Mountain Loop Highway, WA

"There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes –

Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
We can find no scar,
But internal difference,
Where the Meanings, are –

None may teach it – Any –
'Tis the Seal Despair –
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the Air –

When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death – "

~Emily Dickinson

beautiful words to accompany such a beautiful shot! am simply amazed that you saw this scene..definitely the most unique view of 22 creek i have ever seen. an extremely difficult perspective to pull off..done here so flawlessly. love the ethereal light coming through the trees..perfectly composed foreground and the perfect exposure all throughout. just in awe by this shot, LeeAnne..fabulous work!!
