When a fire burns, the heat opens up their seed cones which allows for their seeds to be released. The flames also clear the earth for their germination of the seeds. National Geographic: Secret Yosemite was an awe-inspiring journey that allowed the audience to see the true power the park holds. Not only is Yosemite breathtaking with its astonishing cliffs, waterfalls, and trees, but it is also very powerful. The documentary also touches on how Global Warming and Climate Change was upsetting the natural forces that have Yosemite Park in balance.
The Road By Cormac McCarthy Cormac McCarthy’s subject in his new novel is as big as it gets: the end of the civilized world, the dying of life on the planet and the spectacle of it all. He has written a visually stunning picture of how it looks at the end to two pilgrims on the road to nowhere. Color in the world — except for fire and blood — exists mainly in memory or dream. Fire and firestorms have consumed forests and cities, and from the fall of ashes and soot everything is gray, the river water black. Hydrangeas and wild orchids stand in the forest, sculptured by fire into “ashen effigies” of themselves, waiting for the wind to blow them over into dust.
I turn back to the forest and sprint hard for the lake. It’s only fifty feet away when I feel myself falling. I twist my head back and see my feet are entwined in a dense cluster of vines. I desperately thrust and slash my knife at the vines, trying to free myself, when I feel the first sting. Then another.
In his poem, “Fishing on the Susquehanna in July,” Billy Collins emphasizes the power of art and discusses the importance of experience. Collins uses powerful, lifelike imagery when describing a painting to blur the line between real and manufactured experiences. Collins uses powerful diction that references multiple senses to describe a painting, as though he has experienced the image in question, even though he has not. Starting with the title of the poem, “Fishing on the Susquehanna in July”(1), Collins gives the impression that he has, in fact, had this experience even though he never has been, implying in the title the ability to live through other people's paintings. He goes on to state that the nearest he ever comes to fishing
Sweat pounded down my sweltering forehead, my muscles burned and every bone in my body screamed at me to stop, slow down. But my mind wouldn’t let me, my instinct was too strong. Branches ripped at my skin as I dodged the trees, I dared a glance back at my hunter and caught a glimpse of white skin, large hands firmly clasping a rope, and dark, stony eyes devoid of pity. I quickly turned my gaze back to the jungle ahead of me, but it was too late. The tree root came out of nowhere, entangling itself with my leg.
Jeremy thoroughly took the time to swoop the log clean from ground insects and leaves before they sat down. As the tree tops stalked them from above and the wind roaring like his heartbeat, and only the sound of the wind blowing the trees while an awkward silence fell upon the two boys. Jeremy going red in the face and exerts with a tone of anger “what were you thinking”, as Darcy jerked up instantly as he was shocked and scared as if he skipped a heartbeat, when Jeremy’s tone arose aloud. Great drops of salty liquid fell from Darcy’s eyes; the heavy rainclouds in his mind let loose of their agitated nature “I just wanted to find treasure” as Jeremy looked at Darcy with a face of misperception “what treasure?” While Darcy was wiping his tears with his dirty shirt “those boys from the group told me that there were treasures nearby, so I decided to secretly separate from the group and go search....” As Jeremy seemed interest every time Darcy mentioned the word treasure, but also knowing that it couldn’t be true, as he knew the other boys were just taking advantage of little Darcy. “There’s nothing such as a treasure on this island, Darcy” as Jeremy spoke with determination of trying to convince Darcy that there is no treasure, but not knowing that everything he said went from one ear of Darcy’s straight out to the other.
I would love to travel to Kansas and snap photos of a tornado forming a funnel cloud all the way to a full blown mile wide tunnel of wind throwing debris from the ground to the sky. Capturing all the devastation it left behind. A hurricane (in black and white) would be awesome to photograph as well. The seas as they change with growing waves, and the wind tearing the street signs out of the ground, rooftops being ripped off of homes and businesses. Yes it is devastating but it also is emotional and I incorporate photographic art with emotion.
Many people picnicking here, families just having good times together. Walking down a trail I see a small glass with water and inside a cigarette put out. The water at this lake seems much greener than all the other water in the park. Hiking more I become aware of all the fungus. I ask Aaron what he thought of the lake and he responds, “I'm surprised to see this many types of mushroom fruiting in early October.
