Hello Alec... thanks for sharing. Great place to

cure a headache.

 

Kind regards,

Alec, This is so lovely and good for the eyes. I like your title. Very superb composition. 7/6

Shuki, Okmen, Cherlyn, Sally, Spencer thansk for commenting. The couple is aware I am taking their photo and has kindly consented.

Alec,I would caption this image as "Serene Singapore". Excellent composition,colors and very good exposure.Reminds me of a couplet of Fitzgerald's translation of

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam .

 

 

And I would title it "Paradise in Green" ;-)) very nice Alec.

The only thing that pins this to the modern day are the clothes of the couple. Change their clothes and it could be any era. a classic arrangement.

Thanks Jack, Pnina. Singapore is really a garden city. ^_^

 

Sircar, you're well read and a nice compliment to compare this with a classic.

 

- Omar Khayy᭠( 1047-1123 ) was an Eleventh Century astronomer, mathematician, philosopher and poet. He was born in Naishapur, the Khorassan area of Persia . . . which is now Iran. The Rub᩹ᴠwas translated from Arabic to English in 1858 by Britain's Edward Fitzgerald ( 1809-1883 ).

 

You are too kind,Alec. Here is the quote,which I referred to.

 

"Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,

 

A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse,and Thou

 

Beside me singing in the Wilderness

 

And Wilderness is Paradise now. "

Nice.....very well said Sircar. ^_^

Could be a photo out of a fairytale except for the clothing. Beautiful.
