Description
It is most normal for an image that is of vertical arrangement to take on the impression of being 'hermetically' inclined - functioning as if something is being said from the top down or conversely. Yet, for images that are horizontally arranged to strike such impression; the constituent parts of the image generally are, in some obvious way, configured so to suggest such impression.
All of that of course can be orchestrated; but when it is so observed, and can be captured, naturally, with no interference, then a most wonderful and rare treat is granted the viewer.
Whereas vertical has, since classical times, registered the commerce of message, through the heraldry of the upper or lower worlds to the plain of our own reality [or even, through and to, each of the three]; horizontal design is said to be, less activated, or passively tending. In occidental terms then, we correlate such exchange, commerce, via the mythic Hermes, since it is to his charge that such matters ensued, e.g., hermetic or by extension 'hermetic function' which recognizes it as an analogous process that is found throughout nature and the reaches of 'mind' - directedly, suggestively or imaginably enjoyed.
And so at hand, we have such a capture, naturally arrived at, and physically available to be enjoyed for its depictive notions. Or might it not also [without disturbing the former notions] be enjoyed and extended to subjective delights, analogies, metaphor; or even the unfamiliarity of intuitive prompting; or the attachment of similarity, in align to a feeling drawn from the image - or might the entire notion be left to the furthest extents of 'possibility' that mind can take a viewer: to the realms of the Imaginal?
Mind the reader, this is not to suggest the realm of 'fantasy' - anyone familiar with this author, is aware that such is 'out-of-bounds' and mere to 'impossibility'. The distinction of 'Imaginal', is one that carries 'yet found potential', or at minimum, potential yet to be placed in active matrix.
Potential is something actual; even if we have yet to distribute it into our paradigm - it might even be something that, in earlier times, was recognized, utilized and glorified, but for some reason or pejorative was vanquished to disfavor or merely repressed from commonality. That is why I feel so strongly that more needs to be recovered from past notions and inclusively attached to, at minimum, our 'attitudinal disposition'; aesthetically inclined but most assuredly Humanistically inclined!
If it can be said, that within my eclectic repertoire, I have a series suggesting 'On, Under and Above'; then it is evidenced long before the notions above, were every part of my conscious apply.
And the series, so suggested, would be commensurate with my creative inclinations as far back in time as 1964, with the photograph titled, 'Becoming from a Wake of Resistance'; and if that is acceptable, then the ramifications of such a stretch of inclusivity - that extends from instinctual, unconsciousness, non-directness; to the realm of intuitive, conscious, direct-mindedness - far exceeds the notions of contemporaneous aesthetic reality and temps a future aesthetic, a 'next' demarche, enjoyable to all, and not enclosed to one, temporal, state-of-mind.
As that is too lengthy a discourse, we must then reserve to regard this image for its intentional suggestion, that perceptions are disposed to perspectives; and perspectives are as numerous as there are viewers to observe and question that which arrives enjoyable as 'imaginal' marvel of mind; all else notwithstanding the quivers that are barely visible when 'something' is in the state of pending; in this case the analogy of alignment.
What is so necessary at this time and place that suggests required alignment? Only the viewer can say!

Terrance...I will go look where we shared, and must say.....the more 'imaginal' your beautiful pictures, the more I am induced to imagine....a communion....VIVA
VIVA Anderson
As always, beauty seen and captured, and then the quiver of excitement to read your thoughtprovoking description.....I love that momentary, sudden drift downwards of clouds, pointing the 'way' to calm...........fv............VIVA
Terrance DePietro replied:
VIVA, if you have not noticed, the last image that you commented, allowed even more extension to the description of 'Notion of Perceptions...'; your impressions seem to springboard my own thoughts...So I must, as always, thank you for your participation and thoughtful comments! Where I take this one, is not yet imagined...yet it will be.
