Horseman, trees, fog and sparrow

Yes, John!

You are right, but most of the people don't buy meaningful pictures to hang them on their wall!

I also find the Eiffel tower sexy, ha! Kidding!

Cheers to that!

The Eiffel Tower eh, Pierre, I hate to think what your psychiatrist would say .. : -)

cheers to you Pierre.

A team of three on the psychiatry clinic wrote: Hopeless!

Cheers to that!

An imaginative composition to be sure.  Love the fog in the scene.  AJ

I made it to try to apply fog to my images which were very crisp usually!

Thank you for your visit, AJ!

Hmmm . . .  I think I am bearing witness to the retelling of legend.  The bird in the foreground (not a sparrow in my opinion - a raptor of some kind) is full of life as demonstrated by the intensity of its gaze - so intense that the bird has to cross its eyes.  It clearly is looking straight ahead, into the present with hopes for the future.  Its feathers are clearly defined and beautifully colored.

However, the further the viewer's eye moves toward the background, the foggier and darker the environment becomes.  The tree closer to the foreground still has a little color and possibly a few leaves, while the tree in the background is bereft of color - of life itself.  And the horse and rider are taking their last ride.

The image symbolizes the passage from life to death and its inevitability.  "He not busy being born is busy dying." [bob Dylan - It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)]

Hi, Michael!

I was expecting your comment for I think this one deserves it!

I like your thorough observation as well as the conclusion gloss!

Thank you very much!

Effective imagery PD. All symbols of great value to us, represented in one post, well done indeed   Tony B~

The bird looks troubled wondering what the horseman seeks in that foggy surrounding...is it for good or the evil is approaching?  time to let the forest critters know about it, let's hope for the best...

Another very good story from you my dear friend, Cheers!

Thank you Tony.B-!

I appreciating your approving comment very much indeed!

Cheers

Mio caro amico, erano un po' di giorni che non tornavo in PN ma eccomi di nuovo subito da te! E si, mio caro Pierre, siamo proprio in un periodo assai nebbioso, tutto è così confuso, non si vede più la luce, e pensare che, sopra la nebbia splende il sole, basta saperlo cercare, lui, il sole, aspetta solo di splendere di nuovo per noi tutti!

Mi stai preoccupando ultimamente, dottore! Uno per uno, a poco a poco un sacco di persone stanno lasciando il PN! Non è la nebbia che copre il sole, ma tutti che stanno scappando dal sole. Naturalmente, questo non è il tema di questa immagine! Solo un'espressione di preoccupazione, sulla base di più e più spesso assenza! Mi auguro che il sole tornerà a splendere con tutta la sua forza a tutti noi!

Grazie per la tua visita preziosa!

Pietro il preoccupato!

well, imagine that I've seen one in Italian television! They are really big, but beautiful, these birds.

I simply love this, the mirrored tree is the deciding secret. Compren? Yes. :)

Thank you, Maria!

One thing isn't clear, IE I'm not sure which bird we're talking about! On the caption it is a sparrow which hardly can be true, an owl and eagle remain! It is eagle and there were two of them in the cage and weren't very big!

Olaf,

That unhappy cut limb shows at once that it is the same tree, what can I do, it's the only one I have, ha!

Thank you for your multiple visit!
