Not even the hardest of rocks can resist the seductive caress of water.
–––
Here, over centuries, a perfect basin has been created by this tropical river.
Within the depths of its being, the intimate connections to the ecology are laid bare.
Tree and sky, water and rock, and the flotsam of fallen leaves sit within this basin of nature.
Worlds are found within worlds and beauty reflected back toward beauty.
All of this found within one limpid pool, pull back and the depth of nature displays herself in the greatest reveal of all.
