Lost in Translation

Black & White Sunday: Always there

When I was thinking about a theme for today’s challenge my first idea was “iconic” (as in iconic view of a place), but then it occurred to me that it could be a bit too challenging, so finally I decided on “always there” as it can give everybody a chance to come up with a fitting photo.

Thank you for playing again. Peace to you all.

    This is great! I love the way the clouds seem to be emanating from the towers of the central buildings. It’s wonderful. 🙂

    Beautiful framing by clouds and tree. But always there? Real permanence is hard to envisage for me: even rocks erode away!

    I love the clouds. They add a airy perspective to that stunning townscape and indeed suggest this scene will be always be here in the future.

      As I hinted in my intro above this is an iconic view that hasn’t changed since I was little. I can’t see future, but I am in favour of believing in constants and solidity and cannot look at everything as being decayed or eroded, not that I am defending my views which do not need to be defended.

    Red Feather Lakes…in Northeastern Colorado…the silence is “always there” waiting for chaos to fade. Thank you Paula for this opportunity to contemplate “always there” in this ever-changing universe.

    Always there? Hopefully for (almost) ever. A nice shot. les clochers m’ont parus intéressants. On retrouve des ressemblances avec d’autres architectures. Merci aussi pour la musique. Est-ce que tu joues du piano?

      Incredible that a few people completely missed the point of my post and they are all around your age I think. No, I don’t cause my family could not afford one. I played the melodica.
