“Photography teaches us to see, and we can see whatever we wish. When I take a photograph, I make a wish. I was always looking for beauty.”
~ George Tice
(1938-2025)
Whenever I look at this George Tice photograph, I am immediately captivated by its serene atmosphere and deep connection to nature. The tree’s broad, gnarled trunk and sturdy branches offer a sense of shelter and grounding. The soft rustle of leaves in the breeze, combined with the earthy scent of the forest floor, heightens the sensory experience. It feels like a space for quiet reflection, a place to step away from the rush of daily life, find peace, and savor the simple, enduring beauty of the natural world.
