ankering after the unknowable. Sometimes when out capturing images, everything seems to fall into place. The light is grand and interesting subjects present themselves at every turn. Energy is in the air. A recent afternoon in Saint Louis was such an experience. The geometry of the tightly packed buildings, reflections, textures and colors juxtaposed in chaotic patterns made a complex visual atmosphere. In some cases, the scene when framed was hyperreal to the point of seeming to be a flight of the imagination.
“You want me to tell you what reality is. Can the indescribable be put into words? Can you measure something immeasurable? Can you catch the wind in your fist? If you do, is that the wind? If you measure that which is immeasurable, is that the real? If you formulate it, is it the real? Surely not, for the moment you describe something which is indescribable, it ceases to be the real. The moment you translate the unknowable into the known, it ceases to be the unknowable.” - J. Krishnamurti

This is a beautiful image. Extremely complex juxtaposition of glass, stone, geometry, light and reflection.
I count at least 12 horizontal planes, organized and stacked. There are probably that many more once a closer analysis is performed.
