Photo of the week # "Twigs with a twist"

We have all seen or heard about the beauty of autumn, when the leaves exhibit a myriad of colors before withering and shedding away. The vivid colors of fall are a photographer’s delight and everyone wants to capture the beauty on their camera. But, rarely would you notice the exquisiteness of the leafless tree which looks more like a skeleton without the flesh. Yet, for some strange reason I find that facet of nature beautiful and fascinating enough to capture it on my lenses. Whenever I see barren trees I feel drawn to it and get mesmerized by the aura it creates. For some it might be spooky or lifeless but for me it depicts life in perspective. A tree is at its pinnacle in terms of beauty when it is nearing its end. It demonstrates how outer beauty is just short lived while inner beauty is eternal. It also illustrates the intricacy and complexity within oneself which is comprehensible once the outer façade is perished. Be it trees or humans. Only difference being that the trees will get both its outer façade and beauty after some time but for humans it is irrevocable.
