"sharp" and ~ happy holidays ~

....   In still life photography I love to mix with things they don't really match....

like here a humble cheese grater with a broken necklace...

Send you my wishes for fantastic holidays ...

.. dark at four o'clock ..

It gets dark at four o’clock now

The windshield is filled with night and cold

The motor running for the heater’s sake

We finally forgive ourselves

And touch each other between the legs

At last I can feel the element of welcome in our kisses.

(leonard cohen)

.. that night still in memory ..

   

   ~ sweet memories ~

My beloved friend
You and I had a sweet talk,
Long ago, one autumn night.
Renewing itself,
The year has rumbled along,
That night still in memory.
( Daigu Ryökan – Japanese poet )

schöner abend

.. even poor people became golden,
which gives their faces happiness and a smile

(by Gottfried Benn)

. auch arme Leute wurden golden,
was ihrem Antlitz Glück und Lächeln gab.
(aus “Schöner Abend” von Gottfried Benn)

columns of a temple.

One of the Poseidon temple’s remaining Doric columns is inscribed by none other than Lord Byron, who visited the temple in the early 19th century.

Place me on Sunium's marbled steep,
Where nothing, save the waves and I,
May hear our mutual murmurs sweep;
There, swanlike, let me sing and die:
A land of slaves shall ne'er be mine--
Dash down yon cup of Samian wine! "

(George Gordon, Lord Byron, The Isles of Greece)
