Such a timeless quality here. I feel like this bench has seated a pair of lovers before or maybe an old woman wistfully thinking, and now is just sitting outside of time’s reach, forever in a place of deep shadows and golden sun. It’s magical in its way. Love it!
artisandelimage replied
thank you dear rebie for this most interesting comment…
in fact, I had some pictures of this same exact place a year ago with a lady wearing a straw hat in the same light… they still need to be retrieved from a crashed HD so I did not have a chance to upload them here yet… they were looking great though !
my best, francis.

since I was chattering on about your beautiful white duck friend, I had to come visit this one again. Every once in awhile a particular image really sticks in my mind … this is one of those.
