The Wall, Yom Kippur, September 30th, Ankara Sinagogue
celasun posted a gallery image in Architecture
We have paid a visit to the Sinagogue after the ceremony. This is the only remaining Sinagogue in Ankara, Turkey. We were told that its congregation had been up to 1000 during sixties. The building and the surroundings had surely seen better days. No phot© BULENT CELASUN

This feels pleasantly voyeuristic. I know the view is intended to be seen and this is not a personal space in any sense... Still, she looks relaxed (as if at home) and she is already being observed by an imaginary person. Your unusual framing may also have something to do in inducing this feeling. -
Frames within a frame... I count the hat of the ghost at right a well. Jack, I would happily visit an exhibition of yours and I will certainly get a book of yours... if you ever have one printed. Please, consider surprising us! -
I can see the path, the bushes, the trees and the sky. And I can imagine the couple hiding somewhere. I can even guess where the creek might be. What abstract! -
Your touch has just made a boring day shine! -

Left to right, bottom to top, front to back; precisely composed in every direction. I am mesmerized. Needs to be marked for your next exhibition, I guess. -

A "double selfie", in a sense. Divided by space/time. -
Jeff, thank you for your visit and the comment. It all started when I "saw" a face, with an ambivalent expression, on the rock. (Reminds me of a smiling frog, if that helps you spot it). The rock was near a path making it someone like a gatekeeper, hence the allegory of a hotel receptionist. We don't know where the path goes and we can not be sure if a return trip is possible... The title forces the viewer/reader to complete it with the unsaid part of the famous lyrics: "... but you can never leave!". -
Sharing the same memories! It is indeed a love thing, a true one. ... You have squeezed almost a lifetime in here, in those looks... That is perhaps why I keep looking at them. ... I can't help seeing you in your son's face, by the way. -
Scene from a film noir, in color. -
Perfect time and mood for meditation. I swear it was darker when I started to watch... And I love those faintly seen leaves at the other side of the screen... I like to think them as hinting at an impossible love... Breath in... breath out. -
Thank you both, my friends, for visiting and commenting. Photographically speaking, you have made me use my eyes better.

I was thinking of starting by saying that "your image is on temporality..." and I noticed Jack's comment above. I shut up! -
You are continuing to inspire. It is no accident that you are on the brighter side of the frame. -

Steve has already said what I was trying to put into words. I may just add that I have saved the image! I enjoy this prolific period in your journey very, very much, Jack. -
Depressing. Irritating. Claustrophobic. Impossible to ignore... Marks of a perfect photograph. -
That gentleman knows a lot about you but he prefers not to declare those at this unsuitable moment. Still, we are free to read those from his eyes. -
<p>>It would still be hard to explain why the 50mm shots on that roll look fine though<br> Maybe blurriness was not as easily discernible due to increased DOF. </p>

Thanks, Jack. In fact, this was made with you in mind! I had even considered a longer title for it : Asphalt On Concrete, Single Copy, For Master McRitchie. It was a brief encounter with your world, for me, here. Thank you. -
