Magic Moment of Flying into an Oil Painting

If I could wake up tomorrow having gained any one ability, I wish I could break the rule of dimension and travel between the 2D world and the real world. I know it’s a dream, but I did have a moment when my dream came true. That was the magic time only lasted for one minute when I was jogging in a park at the weekend.It was a cloudy day. After 3-4 miles jogging, my body was totally warmed up and began to enjoy the feeling of breathing and sweating. I should turn around and make sure the whole exercise could be finished in an hour. However, that day, I had an idea that why not go across the bridge and challenge myself. Then, this was what I saw over the bridge. I was shocked by the dramatic sunlight shining from a hole of the sea of clouds. And everything covered by it was never the appearance it used to show us. The lightness contrasted sharply with the darkness, and the details and edges in the dark were automatically blurred , like there was someone rendering them with very confident and wild strokes. That’s the technique a painter uses to generalize and symbolize the real world. We are used to describing something as beautiful as a painting, but what I saw was exactly a marvelous oil painting painted by Mother nature, which lasted for only one minute. Then the illusion of standing in a 2D masterpiece disappeared, and everything returned to normal.That’s very short glance of my life and it’s easy to be ignored if I just run with my eyes staring at the ground. However, that day I ran with my head up, with the feeling of enjoyment and being alive, with the idea of challenging myself . And the magic moment came all in a sudden as a reward for being born in the beautiful world mixed with joy and pain.(I caught that moment with my poor smart phone, and hope I could convey my feelings at that moment to you.)

  • Dear Elen! I'm glad you like it. Thank you for dropping by. Have a nice day!

  • Hey Jade, I am very happy that you had such a unique and magical moment. The photo is amazing!

  • Thanks, ELF-Noor, have a nice day!

  • Nice and i liked the title..
  • Dear Kal, I am the poor smart phone my owner mentioned in the description. Thank you for your compliment of my work:)  She always take me when jogging, because I am short and small, and as cute as sweet cookies. Recently I have more opportunity to show up in public places after years of low-key lifestyle, because she have lost two smart phones which I think were gorgeous. She began to doubt the world after the tragedies, then my time of retirement was delayed. I hope I could present you the most beautiful photo my owner takes, but I have such bad eyesight and aging problem that I have to try my best. I’m happy living a fulfilled life with my owner, and glad to be born in the colorful world, even if my lifetime is not long enough to witness the moment she finds her lifetime companion.

  • Dear Jade,

    I forgot to say,If you have a poor smart phone,It has done a great work.

  • Dear Eva, you changed your avadar.  I like the big smile and those cute animals around you. Nice!

  • Dear Dara and Moon,thank you.

    Dear RK, and Kal, thank you for your compliment. Honestly, the photo is not clear enough to show what I saw that day. I wish I had told the feeling of unreal reality in a super realistic world. It's like the feeling of watching an impressionist painter's artwork, the first impression is unreal, maybe rough and unaccecptable sometimes. But one day when you have the same impression that what you see in a real world is as unreal as Claude Monet's oil painting, then you will have a illusion that am I a character in a illustration of the book encyclopaedia, or am I living in an artist's painting and I, myself is as plain as a piece of paper? It's illusion reality. I think it's hard to explain and convey something indescribable, only your own eyes and heart can get the essential point when you see it for real.
