"Intimate Landscapes" are subject to interpretation. My view is that they represent a look at small slices of a broader landscape. It might be something like the pine cone in snow pictured here. It could be a portion of a pond, or a tree trunk. Any of these help us see an "intimate" view of one little part of the natural world in which we live.
Simplicity in Nature
This photo of a lone pine cone sitting atop a mound of snow is a perfect example of how even the simplest things can be beautiful. The contrast of the brown scales against the white snow is striking, and the simplicity of the image allows the viewer to focus on the natural elements. This photo would make a perfect addition to any home or office, and it would be sure to bring a sense of peace and tranquility to any space.
