Infringement
Silver lining
Bright side
Automobiles on the beach are a nuisance, but occasionally can be used as aesthetic fodder depending on other visual conditions.
“Operating vehicles, including ATVs, on the beach can destroy wildlife habitat and be harmful or fatal to wildlife.” – Sonya Rood
On the shoreline
From the other side
Know the way
Old wooden shipwrecks embedded in the sand on the Outer Banks beaches appear, disappear, then reappear with the vicissitudes of storm and tide.
“Everything from just the backbone of the wreck to the frames of the ship have broken through the sand over the years, giving onlookers a glimpse of the past.” – Michelle Wagner
Kindred impression
Open to influence
Cordial virtue
Every morning is another opportunity to explore a personal relationship with change, manifest in the flow of time.
“In order to manipulate reality, intellect breaks it down into inert parts, which can then be re-assembled freely.” – Anne-Sophie Moreau
Strength in numbers
Location organized
For a little while
Possessing a strong societal structure, seagulls seem to enjoy hanging out together.
“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” – Arthur C. Clarke
Animate forms
Expansion reached
Evolution movement
Enveloping fog has a tendency to visually simplify as it unifies variance. Such vapor adapts itself to the vicissitude of circumstance.
“But it is one thing to recognize that outer circumstances are forces evolution must reckon with, another to claim that they are the directing causes of evolution.” – Henri Bergson
Manifesting continuum
Activity association
Accumulating experience
Expanding visual ideas into new realms of photographic capture, the aesthetic journey endures.
“A spiritual definition of energy could be given as follows: it is that form which the whole manifest universe arises, causal, subtle and physical.” – Stanley Jacobs
Shifting dune
Later stabilized
Kill devil hill
Commemorating the achievement of the Wright brothers, a 60-foot-tall granite monument was constructed atop the 90-foot-tall Kill Devil Hill sand dune. To secure the sandy foundation, bermuda grass was planted on the shifting dune and the surrounding area with fertilizer spread throughout. When is human intervention in natural processes acceptable?
“If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance.” – Orville Wright
Substance mixture
Particular belongings
Inseparably together
In nature divergent things seem to inherently harmonize.
“The world was not made for any one species.” – Daniel Quinn
Sufficient condition
Occurring together
Conflation consequence
Wild autonomy stimulates us aesthetically, but do seabirds appreciate the aesthetic beauty offered in their own diurnal cycle?
“The aesthetic experience of wildlife is one of spontaneous form in motion.” – Holmes Rolston III
Intrinsic connections
Sustained attention
Existence mystery
Aesthetic seeking explores the connection between wonder and meaning.
“It is the elusiveness of the meaning that haunts us, that sends us again and again into the natural world where the key to the riddle is hidden.” – Rachel Carson
