Description

"Do not be too quick to assume your enemy is a savage just because he is your enemy. Perhaps he is your enemy because he thinks you are a savage. Or perhaps he is afraid of you because he feels that you are afraid of him. And perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy." ~ Thomas Merton

Other than great contrast in this IR shot, it is so ethereal and full of ectoplasm that I really don't know what to say.

I reckon the title could work the other way as well, the cloud seems to be branching out ! Interesting composition and pink tree ! ~Cheers~ :o)

A lovely insight into the human condition! And a wonderful image to go with it..... I love how you have the wandering clouds and the way they disperse from all directions. Cloud watching, I think is just as fun as bird watching :) So lovely are the clouds, and I think its a terrific idea to show their greatness compared to the mere edges of what seems to be a very beautiful tree!
