Landscape nominee

I left my home in Asia 4 years ago and came to Newfoundland Canada as an international student. Robert Tilley, a 73-year-old Newfoundlander, is the first friend I made in Newfoundland and through the years he has become my best friend here. We both like to visit the century-old Bowring Park. I like the park because the massive trees here remind me of my home where there are big trees. I took this photo last fall when Robert was standing beside the trees in autumn colors. Time seems to freeze in this photo and the picture is shrouded in surrealness.
