The so-called Inanimate aspects of Nature
As the great forests of the world continue to shrink into ever smaller and more isolated pockets, I nominate the endangered ‘species’, Forest to represent my concept of nature in its so-called inanimate form. And, hidden within forest clearings, small, delicate plants are the antithesis of the giant heaving organism that is a great forest.

In 1821, the Englishman John Davy wrote in his “An Account of Ceylon”, “I never before saw so perfect a specimen of forest scenery.” What do you think?

Sweet and delicious – wild berries, forest clearing, Sri Lanka.

I love the way you combined the two categories of nature.
It is a very creative way to approach the challenge.
Inspiring,

Yea! Thank you Isadora. It’s taken me since Sunday to try to imagine how it would be possible to depict nature, because for me it is everything that is (but that’s the story I’m starting on now!). See ya:)

Beautiful landscape. Nature is truly spectacular. thanks.
Aint it just? It’s so easy to understand why/how it inspired the earliest religions – awesome, inspiring, nurturing … Glad you enjoyed the forest (and a tiny morsel of wild berries?)
I think that idea of ‘inanimate Nature’ just reveals human arrogance.

Tank you Polly:)
I love trees, great photos.
Yes, each tree is a magnificent thing, and in great forests combines to create a universe of their own. Glad you liked my picture:)
There is nothing quite like the forest canopy, beautiful!
