Mr. F and I chat frequently about our ideal spot.  But we often wonder, does our ideal really exist?  I mean, I’m sure it does, but will it be in the cards for us when the time comes?  The photographs of Finnish artist Sandra Kantanen explore the idea of a vanished paradise.

 

As the artist’s photographs reference the vanishing idyllic landscapes of China and Japan, often Mr. F and I think about whether a perfect little spot we’ve found will remain that way forever.  We have a particular favorite, wonderfully isolated and beautiful, but we’ve seen it gaining exposure and fear what may happen to it.  We hope that development may be kept at bay, but we may very well find that one day we return to find our ideal being slowly erased.
