The Nature of Life ( LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY) In our solar system, the sun is the center of everything, the source of life in all the things that happen around its orbit, and also the most essential source of energy, especially on Earth. Moreover, this earth's nature not just shows up as it is but brings meaning to everyone. Now, in this new era of life, people's happiness depends on how they live in this turbulent society. They simply base their lives and happiness on things that only provide temporary pleasure. The point is we don’t need to focus on the things that will give us temporary joy; hence, we should widen our minds to include the things that contribute to our peace and healing. That’s why I chose this type of photography, landscape. Landscape photography means capturing a natural or outdoor scene artfully or compellingly to engage the viewer’s eye and attention. And this photo captures my attention. The rays of sunset capture everything, as well as the trees that are giving life to the pictures and the total scenery of the surroundings. When I watch this far, I feel so many mixed emotions that I don’t know how to explain them, but one thing I know is that I'm happy and grateful for that time. Also, the feeling of nostalgia brings back all the memories of things that happened in the past year of my life. It made me realize how I survived everything and managed to exist in this world. As I made this title, "The Nature of Life," it reminded me of how I fell in love with the beauty of our mother nature and how I am surprisingly amazed when the sun comes and rises in the east and sets in the west. It's just surreal. Honestly, when I capture this landscape, I realize a lot of things, but one thing that impressed me is that we only live once on this planet, so be present in every moment that we feel is our best, because becoming our best self involves optimizing all the areas of our life that encourage us to grow, limit distractions, and focus on the goals we want to achieve.
