We Should Share Silence Hand in Hand by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: We Should Share Silence Hand in Hand Not because I don't want to hear you It's because I actually want to listen to you So maybe by stopping, I will take note And see all the wonderful things about you A cool Autumn breeze blowing across a grassy meadow Smells from evergreens on a distant hillside Brazos Cliffs rising in the mountains So I have taken note and will remember What you said and what I experienced and received Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in northern New Mexico at a roadside pullout along U.S. Route 64 with a view looking to the northwest. What I wanted to capture with this image was setting was a look across a grassy meadow as it went down a hillside and then across two more distant ridges and peaks of the Tusas Mountains with the Brazos Cliffs, more or less in the image center. I loved the idea of just listening and watching the simple beauty to my front that day. The rest was just pulling back on the focal length to bring out a wide-angle feel for the image capture and then angling my Nikon SLR camera to capture a sweeping view to my front.
