Architecture is meant to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic purposes. When you look at a structure, you can distinguish these two ends but they cannot be separated, and the relative weight each of them carry can vary widely. Plus, every society has its own, unique relationship to the natural world and its architecture usually reflects that as well, allowing people from other places to learn about their environment, as well as history, ceremonies, artistic sensibility, and many aspects of daily life.

'Accidental Renaissance' is a subreddit that acts like a virtual gallery, dedicated to sharing and discussing images that unintentionally resemble works of art from the famous cultural movement known as the Renaissance. It took place in Europe roughly from the 14th to 17th centuries and was a time of great artistic and intellectual growth. During this period, humanity saw the emergence of some of the most famous creators in history, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael.

TITLE: Circling Low DESCRIPTION: The canyons and green landscape of Iceland are unbelievable and simply stunning. They are a fantastic addition to the interior of any place as they bring the viewer immediately out of their thoughts and into a place of stunning beauty. Filled with natural wonder, and the essence of nature is clearly communicated by simply looking at the photograph. There is a strong contrast of tones here which brings out the green. The moss and fauna that covers most of the Icelandic ground here is growing on black sand that is volcanic in nature. This being one of the most active volcanic areas of the world, much of the landscape reflects this unique nature of Iceland. **I encourage potential customers to order metal prints - the quality of metal prints is worth the extra money, and they don't require frames Please note that some photographs will require cropping in order to fit within a specified size.
