There are suggestions that homosexual relationships actually play an important evolutionary role in adaptive considerations and in the continuation of the species. It may not be as simple as man + woman = future.

I read the interesing article and it is really thought provoking. Thanks

Pnina, sorry for being so late. A beautiful study & capture of strength,harmony & grace.

Amal, thanks , glad to see you here ;-))

The composition and color treatment are absolutely brilliant, Pnina. You really ought to put it up for critique so that (1) more people will see it and (2)it can be seen by someone who will nominate it for Photo of the Week.

Lannie, thanks for your evaluation, you know I appreciate it!

 

To answer your 2 reasons... It was not an easy series, to articulate right and in English my aims while creating it. I did not want the automatic 3/3's the moment it is uploaded to " contaminate" this series, that I see as important for my expression ( I nearly completely stopped using the rating system....) Thanks for thinking it deserves the photo of the week... I will nominate you to be an elf..... joking... but it is nice of you to think so.

Without delving into controversy, myth, and gender/sexuality issues, I'd like to simply say I like this photo. Apart from the context of the series and the archetypal associations of apples and temptations, I like see this as a modern story of connection. Of two souls struggling to support each other.

Pnina,

 

I did not know "alma" is apple.

 

Your series of "alma" interpretations

or the "maker's" dance is really great

but I won't know what it was until I read

your captions.

Great image!
