This forest is a cathedral, a holy place filled with light. It even has an arched roof, and a lot of gold.
Cathedrals built by man are meant to last forever. Man constructs them from stone and earth, and the task can take centuries. They can stand for millennia, but they won’t last for all of time. Nothing made by man does.
The glowing yellow leaves won’t last a month, the poplar trees will probably be gone in a century. But the sacred places of nature are eternal.
Renowned for the vibrant colors and rich textures of his wilderness landscape photography, Rodney is a purist who captures what nature creates, using no color filters or darkroom deception. The world today is a remarkable place full of beauty and splendor,” Rodney exclaims. “To witness the simple grandeur of creation, the miracle of nature, is perhaps all that we need. The peace received while viewing a leaf turned color at the height of fall is immense and divine."
