Χειμωνιάτικη μοναξιά.. Wintereinsamkeit.



The winter loneliness.
Die Einsamkeit des Winters.

"As you raise it to the light to get a closer look, you hold something in your hand that feels like magic.
maybe it's what you expected, maybe not.
maybe it was too close, or it were out of frame.
maybe it's crinkled like tinfoil, or still wet to the touch.
Maybe it's art"

Andy Warhol

  5. liebe Monika, viele Menschen fühlen sich einsam, ungeliebt, alleingelassen und vom Leben abgetrennt. Die Einsamkeit ist für sie fast schmerzhafter als eine körperliche Erkrankung,
    ich denke die Einsamkeit Winter, dieses Alleinsein, kann auch schöne Momente haben....
    mit lieben Grüßen Jasmin

  9. Monika,

    Sitting here on a very cold wintery day in New England, and then I'm suddenly in Greece...this time of the year is lonely but it's not.

    So nice to see the Warhol quote and the mighty, mighty pigeon. I wish you all the best warmth for the holidays!

    Take good care,
    Brian

  14. Liebe Monika,
    gerade zu Weihnachten fühlen sich viel Menschen verlassen und einsam. Die frühe Dunkelheit belastet das Gemüt. Ich finde, ein Kerze hilft.
    Dein Bild ist gut in Szene gesetzt.
    Liebe Grüße
    Irmi

  17. Great depth of field in both image and text.....

    that makes me linger longer ! In the way that the photo has been shown with the deep meaning it becomes art..... on the other hand, if I were to burst my waxing lyrical bubble with me taking the picture, the bird would have moved its head and persistently decided not to show its beak !!
