A Landscape Re-Imagined

Today, looking up at the beautiful, fast-moving clouds in the sky, I thought it was an IR sky and took my camera up to the top of a nearby hill to see if I could capture the feeling of the morning, which was crisp and beautiful. I could almost reach out and touch the clouds up there, but I was intrigued to see how my camera might re-imagine the landscape on a hill I very often photographed.

The camera saw blue where I did not, made the cloud beautiful and dramatic and drew attention to the beautiful old farmhouse right down the hill, into the valley.   The camera is always processing light in surprising ways. Today the green was blue. Truly, the camera had re-imagined the landscape for me, and in interpreting the light differently, helped me to re-imagine it as well.
