22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Dying Beauty

If one observes keenly , Every moment death happens. Death of the moment itself and the very passing second becomes a dead reality. Yet there is something in that very death, New begins. So the death itself is not to be afraid of , its the arrival of new beginnings and marks the profound eternal journey in this Universe of Human existence. This thought circulated in my mind when i looked that tree, Such a beautiful tree it would have been in its living years. But looking at the back lush green forest appears, As if reality/ existence teaching the meaning of Life in one frame.
