As the week is fading
here’s a fading view of the city
behind a fading, rusty wire…

while listening to:
Dmitri Shostakovich
Symphonie Nr. 9: 2. Moderato
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra · conductor: Vladimir Ashkenazy

A beautiful weekend everyone!

Uh-oh! I leaned in too close, and snagged my sweater on the wire. I tore a hole in it getting free– but that’s good. There was a bad ambrosia stain in that spot, and now I won’t have to send the sweater to the cleaners. I love happy endings, don’t you? 👍😊

Fabulous new way of looking at things, Marina! I didnt know you also used the photographic medium? I thought you preferred only painting! Carry on, parakalo!

Awwww….. please please please, I am not a photographer and these were taken (I’m ashamed to say) with my phone camera! On my doggy walks it’s hard carrying a camera… I just take these as reminders of pictures I see. Thank you so much for the reblog and most flattering compliments! 🙏🙂

Oh, at last!!!!! I can imagine your [double] joy leaving the taxes and maybe photographing some interesting murals I seem to recall you found round there! 😉
Thank you for the compliment! I just fell in love with that rusty wire and all that was ‘happening’ around it! 😉

Yes, I’m excited about the new murals. They happen to be by my accountant’s. One good thing!
I did sneak in a PBH post on Art Gowns, but it’s taking me time answering the comments. I’ll be able to catch up lots after tomorrow.
That rusty wire is very neat, just don’t get cut on it! WOOF to Hera!

The symbolism in these photos was brilliant. We see the world, but many times behind barriers that are placed in front of us. And yet, we prevail and overcome. We are resilient. We see the beauty in the horizon and move beyond what tries to hold us back.

Fair enough! Myself I would love to take people pics but usually don’t for two main reasons… privacy concerns when web posting… and city traffic! I took photos of rusty shovels and wind vanes with bullet holes thru them etc back in the day… so feel I’ve mostly covered that ground in my artistic development. 🙂🌈🙂

“rusty shovels and wind vanes with bullet holes thru them” sound very interesting! I know what you mean. The closer I’ve gotten to city shots were my colored bubbles from the raindrops on my windshield while …driving! 😉 But I somehow managed to make that abstract too! 😉 Even from our apartment [in the city] when I photograph a sunrise, or rain etc I erase [by either cutting or bluring to abstraction] buildings that may …intrude! 😉

Yeah, I was in an oppressed neighborhood the other day and tempted to take some ultra-bleak shots, but I didn’t! 😊The windvane was as old as my great-grandpa, one of the first “settlers” on our old Island.. People seemed to like to use the vane for target practice… before the gov stepped in with new rules and regs! One day I’ll dig up those photos and scan them. Somewhere in a shoebox… it’s a whole series of “life out of balance” themed shots… 😊🙂
