This photograph is one of many of TESOPhotography. I'm not exactly sure who this person is, but they have multiple videos on YouTube that play a series of photos of nature taken by them. Throughout this video classical music is played. This means that no lyrics are in any of these songs, partly because the intent is to make the viewer appreciate the photography and not take away from the meaning of the photos or cause distraction. If a song with words were to be played in the video rather than an instrumental song, the lyrics could easily sway the story or emotion of the viewer. However I like this picture in particular because at first glance the first word that came to my mind was hope. I got this from the soothing colors of the photo in the sky and the ground, not too dull and not too gray. The rocks somewhat remind me of the many life obstacles or opportunities that are constantly put in front of us every day that we must overcome. The photo also gives me a sense that the "life" in the picture is the water that no matter what, keep flowing regardless.  At the end of the rocks is a small peek of the sun which made me feel like beyond these obstacles that we encounter is a small prize. The photographer does a good job of portraying the idea the prize is never too close and if we waste time, the sun will fall and the water will never touch it.
