Gezicht op de waterval en het viaduct van Salins 1903

This mysterious photograph by Delizy captures a scene of a waterfall and viaduct somewhere near Salins. I wonder, what's it like being an artist, standing there, trying to capture the depth, the height, the sheer scale of it all? I can imagine Delizy squinting through the lens, adjusting, composing, trying to find order in the chaos. The viaduct stretches across the scene, a series of arches marching towards the horizon, while the waterfall plunges down the cliff face. What a stark contrast! It is a beautiful interplay between nature and human engineering. I think about the physicality of it all, the textures, the light, the weight of the stone. It is a way of seeing, of thinking, of experiencing the world. And maybe, just maybe, it is a way of connecting with something bigger than ourselves. After all, every artist is in an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas across time, inspiring one another’s creativity.
