O super duper all powerful ladies of the high level committee and friends,
As I was driving to work early one morning last week in a deserted back road of Texas, it was still dark, dusty, cold, and barren with just rocks, sands, a few cows, and a long bumpy dirt road ahead. The darkness was slowly and surely unveiled by the rising sun in the eastern horizon. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the sun just popped out in all its splendor, blazing in full strength, wanting to dominate the landscape and blind us with all its glowing fire… While struggling to keep my car from going off the road, I had a Kodak moment, immediately grabbed my phone and quickly snapped a shot (highly NOT advisable while driving unless you’re in the middle of nowhere in TX) thru the window in the hope of capturing the first light of the day and all of its rage.
This picture, Raging First Light, is especially dedicated to Triet, Em Ci, and Cao Tieu Thu J
Hello BKhiem,
ReplyDeleteNice shot! you must be at the right time, right place...to catch this moment with such an intensity colour of the dawn, somehow
it reminds me the movie "Rencontres du 3ème type"...don't know why !

Oh  Khiem:
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo!  Extraordinary just  like  a “close encounter†with a celestial unknown light…or
living in a dream state out of nowhere…

That's a very interesting shot, Khiêm. Thanks for sharing.

Wow Ca^y Ti Ci, I am still in awe, so much so that I cannot find the right words to express myself. Just brilliant, the scene, the colors, the sparkling effect of the sun (or was it the water stain on the window shield, but never mind, whatever that was, it just came out beautiful in the sun glare).
ReplyDeleteOn behalf of the two other members of the HLC, though I am sure they will want to say something too :-), thank you for your beautiful entry!
EmCi
Hello Khiem
ReplyDeleteSuch a amazingly stunning picture that defy description, so surreal and dreamy, as if caught in a twilight zone,
a cross between fantasy and reality, projected on the big screen
It could be seen, interpreted either as sunrise or sunset, depending on one's subjective mood, at the very moment a romanticized imagery of man traveling in time and space, on an unknown journey
Down a long winding road, so pervasive with a heavenly feel, dreamy touch

Hi Be Lan, Quang, Em Ci, KLiem, Triet,
ReplyDeleteYou're right, that was a very lucky shot while driving with one hand on a rough country road and holding the phone and clicking at the same time. The landscape reminded me of the scenery in the horror movie Sleepy Hollow by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp. Just plain horrid :-).
I was also hoping that this pic qualifies for Triet's themes, transitional and attitude, being "Raging First Light" . Well, Triet? Maybe not
Thank you all.
