Do you remember the scene in the fantastic movie American Beauty where the character, Ricky, shows his girlfriend, Jane, the most beautiful thing he had ever filmed? Ricky noted it was the day he realized “that there was an entire life behind things”. I had one of those moments when I shot this last Friday in the attic of old abandoned asylum. I just stood there and stared as the beautiful and pure snow fell through that small window onto the structure below. It was pure beauty, and it was powerful. It reminded me of something that I often forget, that there is a much greater power out there than I m often willing to admit. I think if I had not been on my explore with someone else I might have just been tempted to pull up an old chair and spend the next few hours watching that power at work. I processed this photograph to From the Inside Out, by Hillsong United. Wow! What powerful lyrics!
