I Want My Prayers Spoken While in Nature To Not Be Without Breath (Indiana Dunes National Park

            I Want My Prayers Spoken While in Nature To Not Be Without Breath
A reminder to myself to be and appreciate what is around me
For I can see and breathe and hear
To all that is around me, in pleasure and hope
A conversation with a creator and the wildness before me
To breathe in and then breathe out
Repeat
Again
Find that refuge and strength
That calmness wind storms surround 
So I will be still and know...

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Indiana Dunes National Park along the shores of Lake Michigan. The view is looking to the northwest, before heading out to walk the Succession Trail in this part of the national park. 

The story behind this image was a hope during the planning and then drive up to experience a sunset with a view across the lake waters to a more distant Chicago. I had experience several days of off and on rain, that afternoon being no different. I composed the image looking across the shoreline and using some nearby trees to frame the setting. I then started to read about a sky replacement setting in Photoshop and decided to try that out with this image. The sunset colors with the clouds definitely seemed appropriate for this national park setting in what I had wanted to experience in person. So the skies are part of the Adobe stock images in Photoshop but all else is captured with my Nikon D850 SLR camera.
