This may seem like a strange photograph to you. I found this along my walk at the condo. It is very subtle in its color and in its contrast. But the wetland grasses are bent in such a way that it seems like a wave. I see subtle things like this in the landscape. Because back in 1989 I went to the Maine Photographic Workshop and studied with a famous photographer who does some of the most subtle and beautiful black and white landscapes I have ever seen. Studying with him for a week changed the way I see the landscape. Let me tell you what he wrote in his first book of photographs: "I am more drawn to that land where certain energies are closer to the surface... Such places correspond to emotional currents within me."

Love the quote in photographer's book. Looking at the photo is hard to imagine because I am not there in person to feel it.
