This photo was taken at Big Sur California at Mcway Falls. It relates to the contest because it depicts a place where the land meets the open sea, portraying the idea of freedom or liberation, which is what my idea of joy is - the concept of unburdened happiness. Often we take for granted our freedom, and we are reminded of the inherent beauty of this freedom, only once it has been taken away whether physically or mentally. This photo was one of my favorite times being in nature and away from my home and I wouldn't trade my experiences there for anything.
