A photo from Flickr that is not mine

I was looking on Flickr.com yesterday and found a very nice picture that I immediately fell in love with, and that was part of a Set for that person’s Flickr account that has many pictures from the Oze National Park, which is in Japan.

I have never really sought out other’s pictures on Flickr very often, and for some reason which I can’t remember I found the seed picture that got me to the Set that I would love to have as a huge-format collage on my wall, the square thumbnails on the default Set’s page are so “everything” to me. Intense in color, but soothing, so calming, so …. “Zen” to me.

The picture that was the seed is entitled “sleeping cotton grasses”

and I have saved it as a Favorite on my Flickr account.

I looked later and found another Flickr account with an “Oze” set that was nice too, not as many pictures, the pictures very lovely, but still, the first Set I found beckons me in some unspeakable way that the second persons pictures do not.

No doubt to me it’s the focus of each picture, what the camera eye is beholding, how it centers in on and means to show a particular aspect of the view in front of it.

I love Monet paintings, and I viewed all those of the Set I first encountered with a Monet eye and long to see them depicted in a Monet style painting, as my Minds Eye created for each fantastic photo. Alas, I am no painter.
