We were at the Morton Arboretum, Lisle, Illinois on this August 2023 late afternoon, heading back to our car after having taken 20 or more pictures. The angle of the sun and its rays coming through the trees decorating the landscape with brilliant light in some areas, casting shadows in other gave an unusually ethereal feeling in the moment.
“Cathedral” is the word that came to mind as the curved branch in the foreground seemed to offer a doorway into splendor, peace, enlightenment, and revelation.
