Description We oftentimes think that we are the most important thing among the universe: but we are just nothing; or almost nothing... Just a detail; but an essential detail...
In fact, what is really important is to feel ourselves as a real part of the Whole. Because Nothing can be subtracted from the Whole: the tiny things as well as the hugest ones...
We all belong to same unique and indivisible matrix...

AND if you look at this then take another step deeper and look at what complex beings we are... as a detail compared to an amazing universe. I believe its another wonderful example of how great God really is. To put so much detail within a detail on a scale such as this is just astounding. To think... how many quadruple-millions of grains of sand exist in this frame alone. Its amazing.

Beautiful shot.
I bet you had to jump pretty high to get this shot

I love the muted tones of this photo. Once again my love affair with your skyscapes is rekindled, and as ever, suitably poignant words to go with your visual masterpiece!
Bravo Michel, Tres Bien!!


(I really must visit Mont St Michel and experience this beautiful place for myself)

Wow. I had to view the full image, and the thing seamed nice, and pleasent, but kinda passe... I mean, just another pretty beach shot, technically perfect like all your work... Then I got to wondering what the thing was there on the beach, a crab maybe... Then another object caught my eye, and I realised it was a person, and the first object, the "crab" was an entire group of people... And perspective was achieved.

It take a lot to make me feel profound anymore, the entire world is beautiful, beauty is everywhere, ripe for the picking, so I hardly ever say "wow" I can't beleive that was there for me to see, or anything like that. This one made me stop and think for a second or two, and I thank you for that.

Yes, we are all a part of the whole, and significant in our own way, each of us, though a tiny part, are nothing without the entire pie. We are all one under the sun, the global force.

This is lovely, from the tones to the light and flow, beautiful photo analogy.

Seriously, after all this time seeing all these great photographs from you, if God said I had one day left and could do anything with it - one of my top considerations would be to walk at your side viewing these beautiful sights you keep finding.

U r right...though, sometimes i just don't want to think that we r "details", but that's just pride, i suppose, not the best feeling. But your pic is...kind of global, u know...going to infinity...
