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.

Marvelous.
Thanks, Steven! 🙂
sunbeams are always beautiful to see and photograph! like the golden light:)
Yep, a pretty sweet spot, Eric. 🙂
I’ve never heard that quote, but I absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing this prayer with us. It’s breathtaking.
No problem, Erin. Ya, I read that quote in a photo magazine and saved it for pictures like this. 🙂
This is an amazing shot!
Thanks, Brian. It was a great spot, I just had to wander a bit to find the right balance of light/shadow/trees.
Well done my friend!
