Just as a grand vista is a feast for the eyes and mind, with distant points and space to contemplate, so is an intimate look at backlit vegetation on stone, with its intricacies and story of time. Granite creates intricate patterns, quartz, hornblends and feldspars that are overlain with generations of moss and lichens. Light catches green blades and flowers; a trickle of water makes music nearby, adding to the lushness of detail.
