HT2742 - Dappled Light

Here's a Thought… #2742 with Brooks Jensen Dappled Light One of my favorite things to photograph is the dappled light that sneaks through the trees to create those soft shadows that dance so seductively. I've photographed those shadows my whole life. I've recently learned there is a Japanese aesthetic that celebrates that light and shadow. It's called Komorebi. Ko meaning tree or more specifically leaves of trees, more meaning leaking or leaking through, and bi meaning sun or light. More importantly, the term is associated with a state of mind, a mood, a moment of being, a transience that implies this moment.
