A nyugati ablak angyala (The Angel of the West Window)

This image is dedicated to Gustav Meyrink and to that providential

anonymous who saved his life...

Prague, 14 august 1892, Josefov district. At that time, Meyrink, young and hopeless, living in one small room, was standing alone at the table, being ready to shoot himself with a small gun. In that moment one providential stranger slipped under the door one strange book. This moment between life and death, between light and dark, angels and demons, changed his destiny. Because of that, we have the chance to read "Golem" today... This image is dedicated to Gustav Meyrink and to that anonymous who saved his life. The name of that book is "Afterlife"...

Very cool and original.

 

 

eine neue Geschichte, ein neues Bild. Dunkel (trotz Sonne) und geheimnisvoll. Das blaue Licht passt perfekt. Wo stehen diese Grabfiguren? Wie immer eine sehr gute Arbeit und sofort als eine von Dir zu erkennen. 7/7

Alles Gute, viele Grüsse Jörgen

 

Sorry,but my English is to bad...

Oh, the stories of Prague...the Gothic shadows....the jewish quarter...the saviour of them all ... Golem...the amulette seen on all streets and all "gift shops"..

 

Getting back to your moment envisaged in such a symbolistic (I should check on those symbol dictionary to get a more exact glimpse of your image) and even surreal composition....the twist and uncertainty of the hero's mind...life, death, the other way.... they are all shouting inside his head claiming for their rights....

 

Laurentiu....it is always worth while to await your creations...

 

Salutari

I`m nearly lost for words viewing your latest work. Absolutely amazing in drama, feelings, beauty together with a very special message. Your crativity to go from idea to completion is the proof that you are one of the best photographic artist I have ever seen. A wonderful backgroundstory also adds to the total impression. The system does not allow me 7/7 so I will be back. Take good care my friend and all the best from Jannica

Laurentiu...It's always a treat to see your original and masterful images...A story well told...Marjorie

Nice photo collase, which completes the story. A pity that the photo is so small with lots of details.

without the story I would have suggested some cropping. Still an interesting collection of postprocessing. BR Hannu

Laurentiu, Great composition and post work!!!

Luv the image, My Friend...

Excellent, as usual :)

Excellent symbolic synthesis Laurentiu with great atmosphere……...

The successful light treatment and the perfect post capture editing enrich your image……….. My congrats.

 

fascinating history very well represented. The light by which you created this image is extraordinary. congratulations .

briliant

I wish I had made it:-)

Angel  from west, with a dark  face and silhouette. Very meaningful  image, with a story, we all know well.

 

Cheers; Bela

strong komplex, tells a good story for the fantasy

Nice collection of items  well placed  in the composition. The image  has  many  stories,  and  the  west window  and  the  dark angel ( or watcher) is  very prophetic. The  fire  in the  cast iron stove  are symbolic  for  the whole story.  I would eliminate  the  gas  pipes, to get the  effect of a natural fire. IMHO.

 

Cheers;  Bela

Holy mackerel!  No pun intended.  This is amazing!  I can only dream of producing images like this.  This must have taken many hours to do!  Very nice!  A real 7/7.
