Aerial Landscape II
I have been experimenting with the idea of minaiture aerial landscapes. This idea came by chance from some unintentional aerial views that I showed in a recent post with mossy landscapes. Today I show a lake with cloud reflections blurred by a breeze (which is in fact exactly what happened)
This is image is taken last Tuesday near where the mossy views were taken. It is the best of my recent deliberate attempts at tricking the eye. I am not sure yet what the ‘rules’ are for getting this to work, it still seems partially accidental for me.

This is a really effective, looks like a satellite. It is fascinating how the micro world seems to mirror the macro view. Great idea, I’m going to have to try this myself.

Thanks Malcolm – I think there must be a lot of these micro/macro mirrors in nature. I had never really looked for them until I started taking these photos, now I see them quite a bit. I look forward to seeing your micro landscapes.

Aside from being almost a total abstraction, it’s a very compelling image. I could live with a copy of this in my living room – poster size. It’s bright, but mysterious at the same time.

Wow – Ken thanks so much. Poster sized would be nice, except I am not sure it is sharp enough. One of these days I will print one of these images and find a place to hang it.

Looks great! Fantastic photograph. And it seems you’ve caught it at high tide: for some reason it looks as if the water-level is normally a little lower…

High tide indeed. It does look like a marine edge now that you mention it. I had been thinking lake, but inlet works much better. Thanks!

Hi Doug – I think I will be doing more of them – they are fun, and some of the topography is particularly suitable, at least at this time of year. In the summer it is all dry and yellow and probably does not lend itself so well.
I like that one of yours – good moss that has enough density and thickness to pass for a canopy. And seeing it reminds me that I keep on meaning to dig deeper into your blog. Now I have a few days off so it should be do-able.

I like that…miniature ariel landscapes. These are super and I really like water in this shot!!!

I like the water too – there were small ripples of wind stirring past the surface, but I could not tell how they would look frozen in a photograph. Better than I anticipated.
