Autumn Colours 3

How do you feel when you see this pix?

I feel peaceful. Several of my friends who saw this pix told me it is beautiful and likewise they feel tranquil and peaceful after looking at it.

.

A few days ago, a friend asked me, via instant messenger, how I am. I decided to depict it with this pix and sent it to her. I told her I felt like in the pix. Then, to my surprise...

.

She: So sad!

Me: Why?

.

She: The leaves are dry and the trees are dying. So sad!

Me: The trees shed leaves to be efficient during winter and the leaves fall and enrich the ground. How can it be sad?

.

She: 'Sad' means SAD. Why so defensive? It's a feeling you have.

Me: *puzzled* I don't think I am sad and the pix is very beautiful.

.

She: Admit it and take a deep look at your subconscious. It will help.

.

At that point, I decided to leave the conversation.

We only feel what we are inside and what we see is a reflection of ourselves. So, we have the same pix, but two diametrically opposite emotions resulted.

Note: I shot this photograph during one of my daily walks in the woods behind where I stay. I love the colours of autumn.
