Fantastic picture. I believe there is much to be said for allowing nature to infringe on the straight lines and clean spaces created by man.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, I wonder if there is any evolutionary reason for humans finding great beauty in nature...for one, it sure helps in motivating us to sustain plant/animal life around the world...I wonder if this is a lucky coincidence.
There's a poem by William Carlos Williams “A Sort of a Song"; the final lines are "Saxifrage is my flower that splits / the rocks".
