A Manifestation Of God...

Posted by Pavan Kaul (Mumbai, India) on 30 September 2011 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

God manifests himself to us in the first degree through the life of the universe, and in the second degree through the thought of man. The second manifestation is not less holy than the first. The first is named Nature, the second is named Art.
~Victor Hugo - William Shakespeare (1864)Part I, Book II, Chapter I.

this is stupendous, gorgeous, magnificent and breathtaking photograph from a fantastic point of view. Brilliant framing. It's a crossover between a painting and a photograph. A crossover between a dream and a reality. Between illusion and the present. Exceptional tones Pavan - fantastic!
