The Archive: Week 5 - Eastern Sierra, CA
Lake Ediza, Ansel Adams Wilderness, California
This weeks image retrospective comes come domestically. After spending a month in DR Congo, my wife and I needed to get some peace and quite time and went backpacking in one of my favorite regions in the California Sierra Nevada. I think this image represents the antithesis of DR Congo. Although DRC and the Great Lakes region are extremely beautiful and I have many images that display it, this image has a unique stillness to it; a stillness that I’ve experienced in few places outside the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Contrasted with the disorder, unrest, and chaos of the Great Lakes, I came to realize sitting under the warm sun next to the azure mountain lake, that peace is silence.
