I'm a working class person, I can't afford taking days off work to the famous scenery tourist spots (can't afford it financially either). The reason I like the photography is that, you can just capture the beauty near you, if you pay attention. This photo is taken at Gladstone, Missouri, a tiny hill outside a church, a secrete place I discovered for excellent lone tree shots. The girl in the distance was apparently appreciating the wonderful sunset. So there is no fancy lakes, symmetrical long exposure reflections, or fog mountains. It's a simple image trying to touch the little "zen" we all have inside our hearts. Please press M for full screen view! It's cropped 16 x9 for wide screen.
