Description .. falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Can something be real without being seen or heard?

well, of course it does. we cant see air, (we can witness it's effects, like those little clouds we breath when it's cold or bubbles in water), yet our very existence, our fuel for life, is dependent on what we can't see. we rely on it, almost mechanically, yet never praise it although panic sets in once it's lost, or beyond reach. that tree falling makes the sound allright, it's just a little unfortunate there's no one to hear the power of it's last voice. like the air we know is there, we KNOW the tree roars when it falls...


as for the pic, awesome awesome job. if i could fave this a hundred times i would. well done...well done indeed.

That's right, well said!
I'm glad you appreciate this photo, I was awed that day by the effects of the sun and fog in the forest. It was foggy, but in certain areas only. The area lit by the sun rays in this shot is one of them. Sorry about the rant, I'm a nature geek, these things impress me.

Great light!

If a tree falls in the forest, do the other trees miss it?

MrLalle [2008-03-03 15:51:23 +0000 UTC]

Definetly yes. The world around us do exist - even when we're not there to see or hear.

It's an old dilemma, I guess. Is the world a dream only existing in my head, and what happens when I wake up. Kinda like The Matrix theme.

Interesting thought, but it makes you crazy to follow it too long.

Oh, and wonderful picture once again.

I guess it is just a metaphor to keep an open mind. Just because we cannot perceive something does mean it does not exist. True, it can make us go in circles

Thank you
