Where the Pines Begin
In “Where the Pines Begin”, the artist captures the serene threshold between human refuge and nature’s quiet majesty. A chalet, sturdy and stoic in timber and stone, stands at the base of a snow-swept hillside, its balconies reaching toward the wilderness beyond. The black and white treatment distills the scene into its essential forms—texture, contrast, and light—allowing the viewer to feel the weight of stillness and the softness of snowfall.
Beyond the chalet’s edge, pine-covered slopes rise gently, marking the beginning of untamed space. There is a quiet tension here, a pause between comfort and vastness, solitude and shelter. The photograph becomes a meditation on place: not just where we dwell, but where we choose to listen, watch, and wait.
“Where the Pines Begin” is a portrait of quiet endurance, where architecture yields gracefully to the rhythms of the natural world—and winter offers both silence and sanctuary.
