"In this lush garden, you sometimes nearly suffocate. It is perhaps a cliche, but you cannot approach beauty. Between it and us there is such a gap that it cannot help but provoke shame when we face this world that we have built without ever consulting innate grace -- destroying the grace instead with something strongly resembling satisfaction."
I've often thought of shooting empty space. Honing down a composition, minimal, very like what you have done here and in quite a few other images I've enjoyed looking at meditatively, and learning from on this blog. Though I think I must still find "safety in objects." It is seductive to contemplate stepping into the violet...
Abstractions in violet - the blue hour of the day. Not to mention more than the day.
ReplyDeleteSplendid shot.
ReplyDelete(gasp) What a breathtaking picture--your words make it even more so, dear Bro!
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful with words. A kind of lovely genius.
Hi Prospero! violet is a lovely colour. Dusk is the perfect time to wind down ;-)
ReplyDeletePure magic!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you my friend:)
