Laria’s image is majestic,and overflowing with the deep silence and dramatic lighting that renews the soul.”Valley of Grace” indeed.
i love the contrast of cool colors of the trees washed with a silvery blue and the golden sunlight on the rocks. its a nice blend of earth tones and cool tones. it looks like grace.
