Kevin Palmer, Serenity is a Place (Landscape 2021)

In placing a group of such different images like this together, some might question why.   I feel that sometimes it is the calling of the photographer to show the wonder and beautiful serenity missed by our busy lives.  However, it is not always found in one place or even for some, the same place. But it can certainly find you where you are if you sit, and watch, and wait. Serenity can be a place, it is true. Yet I think these images show it likely is a time. Just a still morning to ourselves, or when light filters into a space, or just a beautiful enjoyable evening.  Each image was not an exotic location in many ways, but for just that moment when the world was quiet, serenity reigned for a captured moment.
