Stillness
I strolled along the elevated pathway surrounding the reservoir yesterday. The elevated pathway acts as boundary to the surrounding area which is on a lower altitude. In one corner of the reservoir, there remains a huge water outlet which lead to a nearby river. Extra water would be released to the river when the level gets high during rainy season as to prevent them from flooding surrounding land and road. The river in turn, leads to the sea.
One early morning, the atmosphere was serene at the reservoir and the wind breezy. I can see the effect wind-sheer has made upon the water surface. Seen from distance, they felt alive. But into the second half hour, the wind went silent. As can be seen from the photo, the water and trees were in complete stillness. The sky and dark trees due to faint light, were reflected on the still water. Behind these dark trees, layers of hills appear fainter and fainter the farther they are situated.
This particular scene reminded me of Michael's work where they showcase the deep silent of nature. Being able in a place where things are in tranquility and experiencing it is both rewarding and fulfilling.
