“There is a mystery behind that masked, grey visage, an ancient life-force, delicate and mighty, awe and
enchanted, commanding the silence ordinarily reserved for mountain peaks, great fires, and the seas”
Peter Matthissen, American author.

A ghostly being appears from an ethereal, misty background and presents himself, standing as if newly
formed. He stood for a moment with his huge feet planted like tree trunks on this earth.

In his stance, I saw strength in his build, dignity in his pose, wisdom on his face, and something
transcendent in his presence. I also saw sentience.

Having photographed in my way to reveal his personality, I leave it to you to forge your own interpretation
of his portrait.
