Photo taken by contributor Hank Shaw, a 63-year-old writer living in Rochester, N.Y. Many of his friends and family members have suffered from depression and serious mental health issues.

About this photo: “There are many dark days when a few hours wandering around with the camera is the best possible therapy. And there are other days when I get an absolute sense of wonder and a pure mindful pleasure. This simple image falls into category too. It was taken with a digital camera and softened with a painting app.”
