l’éternité.. est un moment

Eternity.. is a moment..
when we think.. when we sleep..
the present.. the past.. the future..
in an instant of conscience
..at the same time!!
It’s ourself.. beyond the body..
another dimension.. here and now!!
and you and I.. in a motionless emotion..

Eternity is a kiss.. and eyes closed..

l’Eternità è un bacio a occhi chiusi ;))

Coldplay.. Cemeteries of London my mood..

comments and critics are welcome..


PS
another image taken at le cimetière marin de Bonifacio (Corse)..
here a different pov!!

Hi Marco

Wonderful repetition of the birds, in this dreamy, sunset image. Good shadow detail, & superb graphism. The 2 perched birds break the pattern nicely. Tfs!

Good morning Marco,

That other shot misses the mood you again have created here, so this is the better one.
The light and the crop are very well chosen as is your note "Eeuwigheid is als een kus waarbij je je ogen gesloten houdt" - no Dutch does not work, I prefer Italian....or maybe French as well - much more poëtic.

TFS your signature picture,

Els

increiblemente hermoso, te felicito! saludos =)

Hi Marco,
The wonderful composition, the moment great captured. Very mystical of making the place from the reason. Raising birds which are a symbol for the soul oneself above tombs. Nice.

Ciao Marco.
Its getting crowdy up there, glad it isn't the airoporto.
Pity, that birds always make a lot of noise and on this place, there should be silence.
Good capture of this contradictions.

Hi Marco,
Yes, eternity is just a fugitive moment that we have the capacity to keep behind our closed eyelids!
I like these two birds in waiting. They seem to admire the beautiful scene with all their brothers dancing in the air, before to join this harmonious ballet!
They must to say how we are elegant, gracious and free.
Congratulations! Annie

Hi Marco,
Lovely catch here, and nice présentation, composition and sharpness are very good, Excellent POV and details, well framed
My compliments
Michel

Hi Marco,
Is this real or PP work? Anyway a great image, perfect how the gulls soar around the monument on the graveyard. Excellent POV only a pity the sky on the left side is a tad OE. Anyway still a fine posting mi amicio, grazie!
Hans

Hi Marco,

Nice with those two birds sitting on the cross and the pole.
Cemetries of London is not the most uplifting song to go with this photograph. The colour tones do give me a good feel, so I might have gone for a more positive tune ;-).

Greetings! Dennis

The other point of view is interesting as well, though I would have distorted the bottom of the cross to get it straight. But it's nice.

Hi Marco,

Oh to be a bird... able to fly to such beautiful settings. Absolutely gorgeous sunset. Great heavenly sky with church in foreground.

nice note too....

An excellent capture Marco. Well composed lovely light and colour and fine details. TFS,

Hi Marco,
a very refined image you made and show us. seagulls are so clear that these look like not realistic but rather surrealistic...low light and several crosses make unusual air and suggestive scene in this image.
your note also directs this atmospheric image, but in my thought there is no "eternity" and no "moment",,,both are only our imaginative ideas. when we imagine "eternity" or even "moment", our consciousness is flying into ideal dreams that is very poetic and comfortable. this your picture make us feel that unrealized vector.
thank you,
Akihisa

It's not a nice thing to do, Marco, clapping in your hands to chase the birds away so that you can make a photo...
LOL.
I like the mood in this picture, excellent light and the sunset colours are terrific. Somehow, the dark patches of church windows near the bottom are a bit distracting to me, but it's not too big a deal.
TFS.

A magical capture Marco.
I love the warm and cool colors in the background providing a canvas to such lovely detail.
Great sunset light and silhouettes.

hello MArco
i am late for this one, but as they say be late by never come.
i am here with my remark
this is an incredible shot no doubt
beauty of your shot is these two birds sitting on the poles and rest are flying and i am surprised that why these two have not cerried away with other ones.

the atmospehere is captured wonderfuly.
Wonderful POV
good use of the lighting condition
focused with fine details.

thanks for sharing

Hi Marco,
I dropped my jaw seeing this, something I need a better word than GREAT to compliment its beauty. The colors and light produced the mood and drama that worked well with the spiritual elements composed in the frame. And, you have birds flying around, giving more life to the beautiful moment you were capturing. Great (I still couldn't find a better word Marco).
Regards,
Ramdan.

Hi dear friend,
I'm still amazed every time when I see your posting.
Incredible composition from all points of view.
You can almost feel the "mood" in it.
Indeed a wonderful posting. Congrats!

hi Marco

Very interesting to see the birds in flight all over the the place and in such warm light. Despite the OE at bottom left, the overall effect is great.

Hi Marco,
Nice pp but maybe too many seagulls in the sky over the cemetery. I am back from Corsica and was precisely at Bonifacio yesterday, a place I know very well and love.
I see that Corsica made good impression on you.

Hello Marco,
Stunning postprocessing that appropriately renders a symbolic message. The combination of dark and bright colours (beautiful light!) adds to the general mood conveyed by the location and the composition of this photo.
Perhaps I just would have put less birds in the right (and dark) part of the sky. Perhaps...
