black and white sunday: imperfect

A back-yard chrysanthemum

looked at the setting sun

and faded. ~ Kaen (Y Hoffmann, Japanese Death Poems)

When I revisit this (imperfect) image of a section of an Ireland cemetery,  I  find myself being emotionally touched by how the statue seems to speak of life’s aloneness and a yearning for that which will lead us away from suffering.

  2. Beautifully depicted. Great focus on a solitary angel sculpture. It really conveys the feeling of life’s aloneness. Thank you very much, Brenda.

    1. Thank you Paula…yet, if only the image was sharper and if the light was different…imperfection would be resolved.
