Walking up through lush forest

Dunes and Lake
Dune Quest
I tried out my new camera along one of the beaches at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Cotton wood trees survive here in the migrating sand because they can grow new root systems higher up on their stems as needed.
Depict Air
To ‘Paint Air’ was the assignment in a painting class at college. Nina’s approach was to paint a chair floating upside down.
How do you depict air using photography, textile art, drawing or painting?
Who generated this picture?
This came in today’s email:
joyous view of manhattan
Happy faces from all windows of a skyscraper merging with the blue sky as painted by a little girl visiting her grandparents in Manhattan in the 1970s.
The grandparents, living in an apartment complex of the garment district, introduced Nina to the culture of this big city.
The Jewish grandparents led a complicated life, balancing jobs with their struggle for social justice in this country, and to their granddaughter, they offered the unsullied joys of Manhattan.
Disasters happen, skyscrapers may topple. This painting celebrates the possibility of joy and innocence.
unusual perspective
The German weekly Die Zeit published this photo of the brothers Thomas and Alexander Huber climbing El Capitan in an article discussing ‘voracity for fear’. The occasion for the climb was a documentary ‘Am Limit’ by Pepe Danquart’s that opened on March 22, 2007 in Germany. (photo by Heinz Zak, published in Die Zeit 22.03.2007, Nr. 13).
Being a junkie for perspective, this photo caught my eye. Do you have any photos or links for photos of interesting perspectives?
