Lost in Translation

Melancholy in October

Much like the Neapolitan fisherman cast in stone on the shores of Maksimir lake in Zagreb, I went through this October empty-handed and melancholic.

Some times of the year seasonal changes are more pronounced than in others. Head over to Cardinal Guzman’s monthly photo challenge to see how versatile they can be.

      Yes, the palette is lovely. That was a single semi-sunny day in a long series of overcast, rainy and foggy days that we have been having.

    Beautiful composition, Paula. Like the bit of contrast between red and white most.

    Not at all a melancholy photo to me. So clear and sharp, and such grace in the statue, even if he does suffer from an empty line. Every detail is clear and the red is perfectly placed. I’ve been missing your beauty.
