I passed this solitary tree on my way home from work many times without truly seeing it. One day I noticed it in my side mirror and suddenly understood the composition: the tree, yellow flowering rapeseed and deep green fields. I stopped, walked into the field and lowered my viewpoint until the road disappeared. What looked ordinary from the car became a simple, almost graphic landscape. Sometimes changing your viewpoint is all it takes to discover something beautiful.
