Elsewhere on the forum the age old battle of painter vs photographer raged on so for me this lovely Washington autumnal is a satisfying breath of fresh clean air. It carried me immediately to the Albert Bierstadt painting in and around Westphalia circa 1860's. Both artists, Michael and Albert chose a similar mind's lens and field of view taking in the beauties and flows of life we see not nearly often enough.
I cannot know what Albert chose to " leave out" when he so painstakingly documented the labors and laborers on the Westphalian lands but I find myself wondering if Michael or where Michael stands on the possibility of editing out the transmission lines..whether he feels it could be embraced to remove some traces of man's penetration...
I like this one Michael for many reasons conscious and probably unconscious.
