The Land Of Enchantment

Marc Christensen • March 22, 2019

Here is Marc's Profound Photo for this month. He simply presents it here for us. I like that because, having lived in New Mexico for thirty years, I have experienced the beauty, magic, sacredness, and mystery of this place, which needs no additional explanation. Marc has a photographer's eye for capturing the essence of a place, as we see here.

You can learn more about Marc on our Profound Pictures Contributor's tab. Marc is a regular contributor to this series, where the artist/photographer selects a photo they consider profound and then describes why, or simply lets the image speak for itself.

"Looking back, I realized that little patch of shade beneath the tree became much more than a resting place. It became a waypoint—a place where I had to stop, get my bearings, and face the possibility that I might not be able to keep going on my own."

If “expensive” were one of the principal attributes of what it means to be elegant then most of the world could never experience elegance. But anyone can, it turns out.
