and a lustre in its sky



fall happens dire, like today: dour, and dismal and devoid of glow; and fall happens delectable, like then, and here: crisp, clear, caressed by a charismatic light.
on the grey days, i remember and anticipate the radiant ones. on the radiant ones,
i - recalling pewter skies and rain - bow to seasons' splendid diverseness, and feel
myself doubly blessed.

  1. Nice shot! You should have seen the light last Sunday over the Juliana canal. Had it been possible, I'd eaten it. But I still drunk in the views.

  2. If there's such as thing as "dour beauty", you've captured it in your photo. I wish I could describe your use of words as beautifully as you use them.

  3. Such flatness (the land, not the photograph)! It feels like there should be a sail passing by in the distance...

  4. Great saturation in this shot. Good contrast as well. And I like the composition, how you broke the monotony by getting the brownish coloured stuff in the front of the compostion. I'm glad you are more active again treating us to your work.

  7. Beauty, pure and simply, distilled and condensed in a two dimensional artwork and wrapped in delightful words . Paraphrasing somebody, isn't the world - mostly! - a beautiful place? ;)
