COMMUNION

Everytime I was washing the dishes in front of my window I kept looking at that fantastic scene .The snow had covered all the roof and at the same time my window ,it was completely dark ,until the snow began to melt .What a sight but I had to remove the icy snow with my hand and push inch by inch the window to open enough so I could go through the small window and take some shot .You should have seen me ,all wet and very happy of my idea.
I called it «communion» because ,at first the two icesticks were just one and melted until they got separated but it looks like they are reaching to get together again.The drop is the communion between them,a« metaphore» but for me it was magical.It’s like the time is suspended…..an untouched pic…

    MicMac,

    My first reaction to this visual wonder, was what one might experience when crossing over.
    A dark tunnel with a light at the end, and that feeling of spiraling toward that light, reaching for it and journeying toward another realm.

    You are a macro wonder!
    This is a beautiful ice dream.
    I love the unique perspective you have of the world around you.
    And i am always delighted when you share that perspective with us
    via your thoughts and imagery.

    youaremagnificent

    peace and light

    Tout en tendresse… Cette goutte te rend hommage en suspendant sa chutte pour devenir éternelle tout comme ton regard sur ce monde le rend intemporel…
    Ne me dis plus que je suis génial, Gisèle… Tu en deviendrais divine ! ;-)
    ...
    Stopper le temps dans sa course, dans sa chutte,
    L’attraper dans son envol et l’apprivoiser sans lutte.
    Puis le bercer pour soi et l’offrir en amitié
    Comme tu nous offres cet instant d’éternité.
    ...
    Merci pour tout miss !
