Now that I have a functioning art display again (hooray!), I’ve been browsing for more landscape photos to upload. Every morning, I change the image to give myself an imaginary window with a different view, looking to expand my mental horizons and inspire creativity. This was the one I chose today:

My preference always has been to match the image on the art display to the season and to the ambient light in my house, making the “window” more believable to my subconscious mind. That’s not as much fun in the depths of winter, though, when every morning brings bitter cold and heaps of snow that won’t melt for a long time. It’s not nearly as easy to imagine myself being magically transported through the picture, like in a child’s storybook, and going on an adventure there.
At some point, I expect I’ll give in to the temptation to choose a tropical photo with palm trees waving in a gentle breeze, brilliant white sand beaches, and a lovely blue sky instead.
