Out of Exile

May 3, 2020 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle landscape sunset photograph of the Cedar Run Dock Road salt marsh as it begins to green.

Out of Exile — 14mm | f/8 | ISO 100 | 7 Bracketed Exposures

A weary traveller, chastened and humbled returning from isolation made his way out of exile to this sacred place of restoration and life. To the marsh he’d seen so many times before. The same marsh he’s photographed for more than eight years with dutiful care. To this holy marsh where centeredness and peace comes easy. It is at this place he bears witness to its cyclical grace of death and rebirth marked by its annual rise and fall. The comings and goings of its grasses, the arrival and departure of migratory sea birds, the summer flourish of bugs to feed the ecosystem, and all manner of life in between. It is the marsh of his youth that will god willing serve as the marsh of his golden years. It is the marsh to which he will always return when called out of exile.
