Leya (To See a World in a Grain of Sand) invites lens-artists to share what they saw during their outings and what they brought.
As I turned into an alley on my way to the library with hopes there would be a hard copy of Umberto Eco’s, The Name of the Rose, I found wall paintings of joy-filled companionship. Images speaking of metaphors, puns, riddles, memories?

“The question, …, was whether metaphors and puns and riddles, which also seem conceived by poets for sheer pleasure, do not lead us to speculate on things in a new and surprising way ..” (cited: Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose)
The people in this wall painting seem so full of happiness and joy!
Yes! And I smile in return
An interesting question Brenda – and certainly poetry and art does exactly that!
and it is much fun to suddenly open doors to new perspectives, understandings…
What a great find Brenda.
Thank you Leanne
Great murals – they make me smile! And that, is much needed.
I’m reminded of a quote, “I smile you smile. You frown I frown.”
Wonderful discovery, Brenda! I love the treatment in black-and-white.
Thank you.
Smiles are so needed at this moment, thanks for the smile
You are welcome for the comment and thank you for my smile in return
That is a wonderful mural and I like you went for monochrome. Unusual and it works.
Thank you Sofia.
