Photographic Tale of the Week - Autumnal Shrine

"Autumnal Shrine" by Enrico Fossati

Are you looking for the most beautiful word in the English language? Do you desire the most aesthetic collection of sounds and phonemes  gathered into a collection of letters made to form, in this case, three syllables of absolute bliss? Look no further than Tolkien's "cellar door" or "sellador" and enjoy away. However, if you ask my opinion, the word I am constantly drawn back to and could take a fragrant bath in is the word "autumnal." The first syllable - the "ahh" sounds like an opening up in a cosmic sense; the second, "tum" like the beating of deep, earth-shaking drum; the last syllable, "nal," I haven't decided yet, but it is good nonetheless.
Suffice it to say, my decision to feature Enrico Fossati's "Autumnal Shrine" as this week's Photographic Tale of the Week" from my Flickr group, Pictures with a Story" may have been a bit biased. However, I think if you take one look at this masterpiece of light and beauty, you will find no fault in its selection. Read what Enrico has to say about it:

"Exploring a new alpine area i have found this incredible Shrine of the autumn at its maximum splendour, i hope my shot can reproduce the majesty of that place and the feelings who i have felt."
Strongly recommend watching this on a black background .

About the picture is a new location who i have discovered in the French Alps, during a beautiful 4 days trip with my friends hiking and taking photos. It was a fair day when the autumn was at his maximum spendour, it was a bit tricky to compose due the huge amount of sprays coming from the waterfall and the rocks was very wet and not very comfortable for composition. I have used a polarizer for reducing the glares and enhance the beautiful tones of the foliage. 

I am an image maker based in northern Italy. I love to capture the beauty of nature and I am seriously fascinated by landscapes of any kind. I love to edit my works with dark and dreamy moods inspired by movies and artworks from many great artists. I love to share my works all over the world, and I hope you enjoy. I leave you with a famous quote that in my opinion fits extremely well with my approach to landscape photography:
“A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.”
