Shipwreck

There is that old familiarity with the calm before the storm, but what about the serenity afterwards? I found this picture to be an extremely delicate piece of how light is used as a mechanism of beauty and forgiveness. In the picture you can see of would looks to be a wrecked plane. The plane is surrounded by an amazing clear blue sky with green trees and rocks that probably indicate a jungle or island somewhere. The picture is a peaceful indicator of the aftermath of what probably was a terrifying situation for those who were involved in the accident. The passengers and pilot probably had no sense of direction or light within a storm or some other sort of unfortunate disaster. There is also a sense of disjunction in the image that illuminates the difference between the man-made world and nature. The plane has become completely broken and seemingly useless while nature and the world around the crash continues to flourish. The sky will shine another day and the problems of humanity will always have a firm reminder of the natural beauty in the world that surrounds us as long as we take care of it.
