Resting by the Water’s Edge XLIII

In Resting by the Water’s Edge, fine art photography captures the serene beauty of a late summer lake. The rowing boats, resting quietly on the shore, seem to float in a world between reality and dream, their faded colors blending with the soft, painterly quality of the photos. The distant island, framed by the silhouettes of branches, adds a sense of mystery, inviting the viewer to contemplate the stillness of the scene.

The moody, calming tones of the collection encourage viewers to pause, reflect, and connect with nature’s quiet rhythms. Both color and black-and-white photos evoke a sense of peace and introspection, offering a moment of quiet contemplation by the water. As the poet Rainer Maria Rilke once wrote, “Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.” Resting by the Water’s Edge offers a space for all feelings, where the quiet beauty of nature allows us to reflect and find clarity.
