What is it about certain images of water that evokes emotions? Is it that our bodies are 50-60% water, or, that perhaps life on earth began in water?
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
Wonderful pictures. My dad took up amateur photography when I first joined the service-I was able to get him a nice 35mm camera while living in Japan. He specialized in water, lakes and streams, with an emphasis on frozen and partially drozen mountain streams-they live int he Adirondacks a good portion of the year, so there were and still are lots of candidates for these kinds of photos. He actually had alot of his pictures hanging in local banks and businesses at their request.
Some people prefer to be in or near the mountains, or the desert, or a forest. I have always been happiest near water, whether it be a river, lake or ocean. Could that be because my sun sign is Aquarius?
Ramblin' Jack Elliott finishes up one of his songs (I think it might be 912 Greens) with the words "Did you ever sit and shiver, when just lookin' at a river."
Whenever I see or even think of a river, I think of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha .
The River
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
The river is a central symbol in Siddhartha, representing unity and the eternity of all things in the universe. At times of great transition in his life, such as when he leaves the Samanas, and later when he abandons his wealth, Siddhartha returns to the river. Eventually, as Siddhartha studies the river and comes to recognize it metaphorically for all that it represents about existence and time, he is able to attain enlightenment. Note that the river doesnt bestow enlightenment in and of itself it helps direct the thoughts of someone who is ready to listen.
Peace to my friends (and all who visit here).

Spikegary,
If there's any way you can share your father's photos here on NT, that would be a real plus!
