It's been just about five years now since I shot this picture in the Siruvani hills of Coimbatore. I've put it up on my flickr stream, my website, various online photography fora and whatnots, but no one has ever noticed it. No one has ever said, "Woah, wait a minute, I know that from somewhere." I guess nature/landscape photographers today don't know their art history like they used to. Or that this was a lousy execution at trying to copy a great romantic landscape painting. Meh. Anyway, on its fifth anniversary, here is why I personally like it.
Caspar Friedrich: Morning in the Mountains (1821-23?)
