Marvelous Monday

"Their sprawling decaying root systems still anchored them to the forest floor as they soar upward; they were once the pillars of the forest canopy.

Visually deafening, yet peaceful, these now epic sculptures of nature stand majestic. Sculptured by the wind, the rain and the miniature life forms that leisurely consume them, their haunting silhouettes tell enchanting stories of the aggressions of time and moments of tranquility.

For these icons of the forest, this is now the final phase of their existence, as they gradually and gracefully contribute their whole to the biomass beneath them."

I'm not sure what I like more of John Goodyear.  His powerful work or his powerful words.  So few a time is it that you land on someone's website, and are so taken by what you read.  This is one of those few times, for me at least.  I hope you take a moment and scroll through his website and explore his work.  It's as luscsious as the rainforest.  Have a marvelous Monday.
