New Zealand – Lake Te Anau
(Click the image to enlarge.)
I was not fond of this picture when I first saw it on screen, and I nearly discarded it completely. But after taking a second to really think about it, I realized why I disliked it. This picture leaves me with a profound sense of unease. I don’t like how the dock floats on such strange looking floats. I don’t like the lonely and abandoned boat. I don’t like the looming clouds on one side and the harsh sun on the other.
After a second look, I realized I liked this picture. I like it because it creeps me out.
