Haven't visited this park myself, but the picture and your words made me think of how many parallels there exist in peoples' lives even when they are not connected themselves.
At first I thought this was the Vietnam Memorial. Similar ideas, but the imagery and poem in this post fit so beautifully together. That's the only word that keeps coming to mind when looking at your site! Bellisima! (that's italian,right?)
History is rife with uncertainty and clarity, war and peace. History is not so much a discovery, as the present is often a mystery. But the heart always knows now, in the moment, even as it remembers the past and hopes for the future.
-a-c-, Your words and photos are most inspiring. I come here often for the beauty herein. I too thank you.

ReplyDeleteBellissima la foto e ancora di più le parole...
Aren't we all?
ReplyDelete@ thecleanlens: questa l'ho fatta vicino al memorial delle torri gemelle. Grazie grazie!
ReplyDelete@ gautami: indeed so...
so, i am left wondering if this silhoutted person is looking out or in...
ReplyDeletedopo un buon weekend, dimentico le mie parole italiane...!
@ qualcosa di bello:
ReplyDeletefor the record, the person was looking in. It was shot at the Irish Famine memorial, Battery Park, NY.
per quanto riguarda il dimenticare, sapessi di cosa sono capace in un weekend! ;-)

ReplyDelete@ pooja: a very interesting remark, and the recent events are dramatically showing how true this is.
ReplyDelete@ kristin: thank you Kristin. Indeed words and photos are mutually inspired, although most of the times I start from the photo.
...there is there obliqueness and grace. I rest. I search. I find beauty in every place. Thank you, -a-c-.
ReplyDelete@ judith: it is I who must thank you, for you wrote a nice poem in form of a humble comment.

I have not been around for a while, and now I am again moved by your art!
ReplyDeleteEspecially by this photo -I confess I was just staring it for a few minutes... Only then I could read your words. :)
@ dmartini: well, given your talent with photography I am indeed flattered by your comment.
