Sin conocer su destino
Caen los pétalos.

No knowing their destiny

Death, its beautiful in its sadness… this inspires me to post one of my wilted roses! Thanks for the inspiration…
Thanks Shabnam.
I am really looking forward to seeing your work!
All the best!
How oft, when men are at the point of death,
have they been merry! which their keepers call
a lightning before death.

Nice work:)

Marcelo, una foto preciosa, lo dice todo; es de una sensibilidad exquisita.
Gracias Charo.
Me alegra saber que he sido capaz de transmitir mis sentimientos a través de esta fotografía.

Sin palabras, la imagen lo dice TODO!!!!
Gracias Jesús.

Exquisite. I love Elena’s words; “A beauty within a heartache”. Yes.
Thanks Karen.
I love her comment too, it’s the essence of this photograph.
m
All my condolences to your friend.
Your B&W photo and your text are a beautiful tribute…
Thanks Odile.

Hello Marcelo, every week I see your photographs and wonder how you transform our world into a dimension that floats above and around us. We are very fortunate to be able to see them week by week, but I often wonder what it would be like to walk into a space and be surrounded by them.
Thanks Rufus.
I also really enjoy visiting your blog.
My photographs are like the entries of a travel diary, a bunch of scribbles whose only intention is try to convey the emotional impact that emerges from contemplating the world around me. I see it more like a process of translation rather than process of transformation, but unfortunately, something is always lost in translations.

How stunningly beautiful…. gorgeous! Marcelo, at my first glimpse, I thought I was seeing an arabesque dancer… her dark wavy hair tousling in the wind of her movement from her costume of wild wings!
My condolences to your friend, Luis, and my admiration to you for this outstanding tribute. _Resa xoxo
Thanks Resa
I love your “vision”
It is only when we gain a full understanding of the meaning of the music of the Life that we will able to masterly perform the dance of death.

A stone I died and rose again a plant;
A plant I died and rose an animal;
I died an animal and was born a man.
Why should I fear? What have I lost by death?

stillness-
cut through the rock
the chirping of cicadas
Thanks Ulli
Nothing in the cry
of cicadas suggests they
are about to die.

I love this one Marcelo… 😀 It’s very thought provoking and can tell several stories. I may borrow this one also if you don’t mind. If you do, just let me know. I will understand! 😀
Thanks Keli.
Don’t worry about borrowing the photo, you can use it when you want and how you want.

Sencillamente, hermosa imagen y hermosas palabras.
Gracias Santi.
A veces es uy difícil encontrar las palabras que realmente sirvan de consuelo.
m
the imagery your words evoke…gentle breeze of compassion
Thanks Brenda
Where does the chill breeze that blows out the candle of our life come from?
And where are we going to when the cold floods our bodies?
m
Even though your words were for a friend, they eased a grief within my heart as if they are the loving presence of a Bodhisattva. I will return to them often.
It is my hope that in the ebb and flow of the grief within your friend he also comes to feel a similar compassionate peace.
Thank you for being … Marcelo
Thank you Brenda for these beautiful words.
m
Beautiful!
Thanks to remain in him
