...for the night's fears"

Rod Stewart - I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT

I can tell by your eyes that you've prob'bly been cryin' forever,
and the stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
If I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?

If I stand all alone, will the shadow hide the color of my heart;
blue for the tears, black for the night's fears.
The stars in the sky don't mean nothin' to you, they're a mirror.
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke my heart.
If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
I don't want to talk about it, how you broke this ol' heart.

If I stay here just a little bit longer,
if I stay here, won't you listen to my heart, whoa, heart?
My heart, whoa, heart.

This photo was taken in a nearby field. It's a very narrow and deep well with canes thrown inside. There were no clouds in the sky. The only reflection in the water is that of the photographer - me!

Uma composição complexa, como é complexa a vida!
O fundo azul realçou o trabalho.
Um bom tema, Maria!
Um abraço,
Nivaldo

Great find, well shot and nicely composed, I ,love the use of curves and straight lines as contrast, well done!

Hello Lurdes - DOP
This represents your passage through the tunnel of love (blue for love) and the sticks are the obstacles that will present themselves before you can reach that blue sea of total enchantment! Just keep on peeking!
Thanks for sharing,
Esperança

Cool-it really gives a lot of possibilities. Great color.
Metaphorically speaking, it gives two views - the depths of sadness (the well) and the high of life (crisp blue bright sky). Remember that each day brings a new perspective.

Hi Lurdes, I thought we were staying away from all things blue.....well composed and captured Lurdes and love the little peak of you x Lesley

Hello Lurdes

A bit hard to figure out what it is but interesting to look at. The blue comes out good through all that greyscale image.

TFS :) Sylvain

Até breve,
Sergio.
