The stark lines of these burned pine trees caught my eye -- giving me a surreal feeling that made me want to sit and contemplate the view for a while, as if I could discern some deeper meaning from the patterns of lines. I didn't, but it was a pleasant break.

$Streambed near Swiftcurrent Lake (Fluid Refraction). <br /> <br /> A woodland stream under dappled sunlight stopped me in my tracks, and inspired me to sit for a while and contemplate the quicksilver patterns of reflected and refracted light dancing over the colorful stones of the alluvial stream-bed. I was fascinated at how many things were at work in that little patch of sunlight -- optics, geology, hydrodynamics, thermodynamics. I couldn't help but be humbled at the complexity of our universe being displayed with such elegant beauty.$
