"To me, it suggests that the most significant part of an experience - a person, a time of life, or a challenge - is often not recognized until something brings it into conscious perception. Here the late afternoon light elongates shadows that prove more significant visually and emotionally than the trees casting them. The shadows suggest questions, answers or thoughts beyond the trees themselves." Scott Mead
