Some silences are too profound for words. Augustus Saint-Gaudens understood this when he created the Adams Memorial — modeled between 1886 and 1891, deliberately left untitled by its creator, resisting any single interpretation. This bronze cast resides at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC. The full memorial stands in Rock Creek Cemetery, where it has kept its wordless vigil for over a century.
This image belongs to a photographic project aimed at featuring a perception of Nature as the eternal cycle of springing, decaying, and returning to the roots of the Earth. The images are accompanied by quotes from the ancient Latin author Plinius Senior, who, in his Historia Naturalis, praised Mother Earth (Terra Mater) for giving us life and nurturing, accepting our diseases, and finally giving us a safe shelter and staying with us forever.
Other images of the project can be viewed on the dedicated page in my own blog.

A photograph I actually took today. In an ancient Egyptian temple in the city of Edfu, located on the west bank of the Nile between Luxor and Aswan. The temple, 2250 years old and dedicated to the falcon god Horus, is considered one of the best-preserved temples in the entire country. Light shafts were falling into the interior of the temple, illuminating the hieroglyphs on the wall as well as the guardian who poses for the visiting photographer.
Taken with my Nikon Zf and the Nikkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR, an awesome combo for travel photography, image specs 1/500 sec @f/6.3 and ISO 6400, 45mm focal length
