The blue cross( blues)

 One of Jaffa 'landscapes", thanks for viewing.

I have a love for Jaffe.  The part of this photo that I respond to is the center, ie the arch over the doorway, the metal latticed "window" on the door, and the open door leading out to a view of what looks like the ocean.  The cross suggests this might be taken from the interior of a church, but the blue of the cross -- so positive and optimistic a color... in the back of my mind is a poem with this color of sky, signifying idyllic situation... was it a poem by Eliezer Steinberg--- did you study him?

I love Jaffa as well, there is a lot to see  and express there.  It has somthing belonging  to all mono religions. There are in that area,  churches, mosques and of course synagogues.As it is touching the sea ,it was a great  blue  photography point. ...

I'm not familiar with  E.S poems so If you feel like it, write it down here, and thanks !

recurring shapes (cross, arch) and alternating hues (bue and yellowish) along with increasing sharpness form a subtle but (or rahter: therefore) very strong beat that guides my eyes towards the sea outside. I love the composition.

Pnina, admirable image. You have woven a magic and mystic web with colors and patterns. Love the shades of blue.

 Wolfgang ,thanks for your nice feedback  your words are echoing my thoughts while seeing the scene, So I'm very glad that I have" dialoged" with you...;-))

 Amal . we wrote at the same time...Very pleased to read you here,no more words are needded , just thanks !

Good eye, Pnina. I'm thinking that this photo, as you posted it, must be pretty much how you shot it. It has geometry, abstract art, religious undertones and a healing color palate. Can't ask for more. Great job!

Peace ~

Thanks, you know ,sometimes you plane the composition and sometimes it  is simply "jumping" on your eye... this is the case ....;-))

I too like your vision and composition here, Pnina. Lovely array of shapes, lines, and (subdued) colors...

Pnina, to me this is slightly reminiscent of the cutouts of Matisse, perhaps because of the color. I also like the quality of the soft blur in the foreground, as though it were shot through the panes of a window, and the view through the window/door to the sea and sky beyond. 

The travel from the soft focus of the foreground to the more corporeal lines of the door and grate and then back to the gentle line of the sea meeting the sky, all held together by recurring line and colour , makes for a wonderful visual journey. A soothing image.

Thanks for  your wide visit, Matiss is one of my prefered painter from this period, and I'm humbled of your impression.

Any way as I wrote before this scene just "jumped" on my eyes....

We Probably wrote simultaneously when I wrote to Tony....and have discovered you only today ;-)) ( your comment not you really ;))

Thanks I'm glad you find it a good composition.!

...love ,warmth and friendship...   ...be blessed with peace,joy,happiness...r&e

Interesting and creative work. Dara

that' really fantastic. a photo builded with the dof and the blu. i think nobady had shooted this without to put the lens after the blu lines (sorry, i dont know the name in english). really great, a photo needs this kind of capacity. in my folder, to see it also in the future

Thanks all of you.

Andrea, thanks for adding this photo to your collection, I appreciate it.

I am taken by the contrast between this cross and your black cross. Where the black cross appears ominous, this one is light and full of hope.

The is a great concept to present main subject. As mentioned in other comments, the dof is strong and very interesting. Very good work, Pnina.

Thanks both of you.

 Linda,the black cross is ( the work of Ilana Gur) on the roof of the artist's studio.....

Gunnar, I think as well that   it is one of my good works.
