Your photo made me think of the poem Ars Poetica by Archibald MacLeish. He's talking about how poetry shouldn't have emotion outright, but instead use imagery like your photos-

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs,

Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,

Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves,
Memory by memory the mind—

A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs.
