Wild Park
The more we are able to recognize wildness in our everyday, the more we will value and protect our surroundings. The grand landscapes of Ansel Adam’ work could be easily seen as wild places and most of these areas are now protected. Our local park has a plainer sort of scenery; its value as wilderness is not so apparent. And so, I learned how to interpret the subtle signs of wild life in our park. I see the everyday differently now, it thrives with life and wildness. The quotidian is no longer so ordinary. In wildness is the preservation of the world.
