Фото an universe.. and four elements - фотограф silvia marmori - архитектура, путешествия, пейзаж

Mi last image at Agrigento.. but not the last at Sicily.. :-)
At this city, 2500 years ago, it was born the famous pre-Socratic philosopher Empedocles.. and among all his theories and ideas, he talked for the first time about the existence of four elements : water, air, earth and fire, present in all things. He believed that the origin of the universe was there .. love would be the force joining them all... and discord, hate, would be the one dividing, separating...
When looking at these landscapes, I understood why he had thought about that theory... water was there, at thin rain and near sea, air was there, at fresh, gentle stormy breeze.. earth was there, at green smell, trees, and stones … and fire.. my soul was on fire, trying not to miss any of those wonders and feeling how much all was joined..
A whole universe, yes..

what a great perspective, and a wonderful light... and atmosphere, and mood...and expression of feelings.

Really a breath taking scene and I applaud your ability to have composed this marvellous shot.
According to the Empedocles, a Greek philosopher, scientist and healer who lived in Sicily in the fifth century B.C., all matter is comprised of four "roots" or elements of earth, air, fire and water. Fire and air are outwardly reaching elements, reaching up and out, whereas earth and water turn inward and downward.

Great turbulant sky with a splendid view of the ancient landscape which holds the spirit of times past and present.... Colors are well defined and resolution is very good... The spirits of the ancients live on in infinity
