yellow flowers
In this photo, a combination of small yellow flowers and the dry thorns commonly found in deserts and mountains can be seen. The placement of the desert thorns alongside these delicate flowers creates an artistic harmony that makes one reflect on the greatness of God, showing how dryness and harshness can exist alongside softness, delicacy, and beauty. This image can also be seen as a representation of the Iranian proverb: “After every hardship comes ease.”
