Flap of wings

Sunlight breaks through the swirling fog, illuminating a solitary pine that defies the steep, rocky terrain. Below, a tapestry of crimson and gold leaves blankets the valley, while distant peaks fade into the haze. The scene, captured by Jaeyoun Ryu, evokes a sense of stillness and endurance—nature’s quiet strength in the face of time and weather. The title “Flap of wings” suggests a fleeting moment, perhaps a bird’s passage, adding motion to the otherwise serene landscape. This is not just a view, but a story of survival and beauty in the highlands.
