Ansel Adams VII Plate I

Ansel Adams Mono Lake VII Plate I

A study of contrasts

And shades born of

Surreal eyes,

Delimited only by

The commonness of viewers

Who partake vicariously

In this visual feast

Of white, stark limbs

Illuminated as twisted

Clumps of veiny extremities

At the edge of

A sea of fog.
