beyond the darkness

I believe…
life beyond dead.. light beyond the darkness..
it's cause.. after a tempest.. there is always the sun..
it's cause.. after the pain.. there is always the still!!..
to go beyond your darkeness... is my wish.. for you!!
sooner or later.. there is the light.. at end of tunnel
life is beauty!!

le cimetière marin de Bonifacio (Corse)..
Bonifacio is a place out of time.. and out of this world!!
in the late afternoon.. when sunset was just begining..
there were no sounds.. no noise..
I was enchanted..
everything was calm.. peace.. and beauty..
for a moment.. inside and out.. beetween tombs.. and sea taste..
to rest here.. in eternity.. was for me a sweet thought.. ;)
and.. in a while.. one of the seagulls, living here..
made a jump and begun to fly against the sun..
that.. was the perfect moment..for me.. in that day!
there is always a perfect moment to live..

Carpe diem..
;))
...

porcupine tree is my mood..

comments and critics are welcome..



Ce toit tranquille, où marchent des colombes,
Entre les pins palpite, entre les tombes;
Midi le juste y compose de feux
La mer, la mer, toujours recommencée
O récompense après une pensée
Qu'un long regard sur le calme des dieux!


From.. le cimetière marin Paul Valery

Les couleurs chaudes mariées aux ombres noires et au cadre blanc rendent le tout très beau. Il y a quelque chose de reposant dans ce cliché et pourtant, on pourrait imaginer cet oiseau menaçant. Ce paradoxe rend ta photo unique! Bravo.

I like this Marco! Excellent details, very nice saturation here! Great comp!!

Interesting note.

Thank You

Hey Marto,

finally you posted it!!!
that's a great shot, you gave an air very surreal with these colours.
I love the black silhouettes, I think a good choice for the exposition.
I'm looking forward for your next post about Corse...

bella secco

Marto

Ciao Marco,
Excellent picture, full of coloured drama! The silhouettes are excellent captured, the bird is a superb detail. An outstanding presentation my friend.
Grazie!
Hans

We could also remember "Le bateau ivre" - Baudelaire!
Very good, Marco.. the right mood, the right shot!
Grazie,
Antonella

Hi Marco, una gran foto, hermoso atardecer las siluetas juegan un rol importante en la composicion, buen enfoque y encuadre. Felicitaciones

Hi Marco,

You really felt alive in this place of rest with a hint of the sea in the air and colours reminding you that the sun will shine again and again and again, just for you.
The silhouettes are just beautiful as is the one lonely bird.
A real Urfaust-picture for sure. Beautiful!

When the Angel comes to take me home,
I guess that I'll still be alone
When the time comes or I've had enough
I hope to see you as I'm goin' up

I never wated it to be this way,
to sit and watch you as you run away
Oh Baby Jesus, hold my hand,
I lost the will to, to understand...



Thanks for optimistic light of hope..you're like an angel..

KISSES on your lips!
Ania


PS. the older u are the more sentimental u get?;)

Hi Marco,

What a rainbow of colours in the sky and then the silouette of the graves. At least, I'm expecting it to be a graveyard when reading your note about darkness. Well, if it is, it surely is the most colourful version of a graveyard I've ever seen! :-)

Greetings!

Carpe Diem... true words, Marco. And a stunning picture, I'm quite speechless. A perfect compo and magnificent colours. The sun setting behind the gravestones tops it all off.
One to print on canvas, IMO, as large as is possible.

Hi marco,
your optimism paradoxically suggests the presence of gigantic darkness...even this picture looks an elegy for the end of the world...
we have a hopeful future or not, I don't know, though I am not a pessimist, and your shot is happy one or not, also I don't know...why so I feel is unknown too...
thank you,
Akihisa
