Summer Side Of Life

Another bittersweet song by Gordon Lightfoot, talking about how life can change. Here are some of his verses:

He came down through fields of green
On the summer side of life
His love was ripe
There were no illusions
On the summer side of life
Only tenderness

And if you saw him now
You'd wonder why he would cry
The whole day long

Summerside of life is a meditation on land, water, and perception — where solid and fluid states intermingle. Fine green reeds slice diagonally across a glowing field of golden-orange, with strong reflections creating a subtle optical illusion.

The vibrant contrast between yellow and blue, accented by natural forms, makes the image hum with energy and motion. It captures a precise moment where nature has been given a hyper-realistic look - which in turn raises the question of whether it is our expectations that create reality.
