Natural landscapes: when God shines His light

‘GODBEAMS’, ELORA, ONTARIO

This little village, west of Toronto (Canada’s largest city) is famous for a gorge and waterfall and I definitely spent time photographing them. But I also wandered through a cedar forest and found these glorious shafts of morning light. The scene reminds me of one of my favourite quotes, from photographer Dewitt Jones: “God gave me photography so that I could pray with my eyes”. Nikon D90, tripod.

  No problem, Erin. Ya, I read that quote in a photo magazine and saved it for pictures like this. 🙂

  Thanks, Brian. It was a great spot, I just had to wander a bit to find the right balance of light/shadow/trees.
