The June 2008 “Breathing Space” picture is of Iguazu Falls, Argentina. It’s a shot of the top of the falls, so you see the water at the top, trees around the banks, and plenty of clouds in the sky. You even get a rainbow effect if you look at the falls.
The idea of rushing water being a meditative “breathing space” is interesting to me. In the picture there’s this undercurrent of fast-moving water, which is a good metaphor for many of our lives. One would think it’s not a great choice to calm down with. Yet, there’s this expanse of sky filling up most of the page that allows you to breathe a little.
I’m glad this feature hasn’t disappeared from the magazine. It’s a simple, yet effective reminder to relax.
