Mystical Afternoon

Brilliantly-colored yet peaceful landscape photograph of a field with trees, a few figures, and dim temples in the distance.  All are illuminated with golden light in a scene conveying stillness, warmth, and quiet transcendence.

Mystical Afternoon

Bagan Archeological Zone, Bagan, Myanmar (Burma). A soft haze of afternoon light settles over tree-dotted fields, turning all within the landscape a deep gold. Lens flare streaks across the scene and also highlights a seated figure and a few goats. In the distance, temple silhouettes rise through the light, tying together daily life and something more timeless.
