Viewers of Landscape
Each landscape is formed by the point of view of the spectator; it is a spiritual experience, the reflections of a culture. In a sense, therefore, the photographer first has to make a portrait of the people who muse over the landscape they behold. In thus placing himself behind them, he expresses both complicity with the natives and irony towards the invaders.

Reblogged this on 50'Lux and commented:
I have no thoughts to add to the wonderful quote by the Archbishop of Canterbury. 😉 Enjoy this post please from last year.
Outstanding. Again.
Thank you so much, Godfrey! I thought that post, the image and the quote represented a real
high point for this place! Thank you, as always, for noticing.
