Of man and landscape

Since the development of written science, the common intelligence categorize what in front our eyes into live and everything else, as if only live matters..... I have to disagree.

Life is a part of universe and a universe within ourselves. We found the meaning of live, whatever it is, base on the very fact of our own existence in the world, which now we all know, a tiny part of greater world, the world we can see, and much beyond.

I do lots of location works, it is my preference, simply because I see landscape as creature no different from us, except, landscape evolve in a path that our common definition of lifetime has difficult to comprehend, or for many, careless to understand. But do I consider man-made landscape a landscape, of course it is. Because once it is built, it starts to age, its existence is just like life, it is not going to last forever, and eventually it will all become a part of the universe, break and decompose into simpler matters, and thru the cycles of evolution, everything becomes indifferent again.

This is made at Changburi Resort and Spa, a lovely luxury resort in Ko Chang, the largest island of Thailand. The day I took this picture, with a Polish model, Magda, was not considered a perfect day, it does not have the common blue sky and emerald see, but just because of this, the nature beauty does not overwhelm the model and the picture resulted in a more harmonized look, at least it is to me.
