Artist's Comments

This is a journey home, in two ways for me. In one respect, this is a backroad on the way back to my parent's house in Pullman, Washington. In another respect, while driving this road and watching the sun rise, I had an epiphinal vision with this particular configuration. It is as though this tree, symbolic of the Great Arcanum AZF, is the ladder to which "Home," or the Solar Body (a presence of God within) can be achieved.

I had to stop and take a photo, and it turned out to capture the aura of the moment so perfectly that it is to date one of my favorite photos.

This picture was taken with a cheapo pocket 3 megapixel camera.
The only editing done to this was to remove a digital artifact from the tiny lens not being able to handle this much sunlight, and I bumped up the saturation on the Yellows by about 15.

Thank you both for the kind words. You speak to my soul on this photo.

saw the extended version of this, except that there are no hills so I only have the the choice to run / drive down this road just to see where I end up, and this pic has made me want to climb the tree
