Ghosts of friars past
still stumble through the shadows
of the cloister walk.

    This portico is long enough so that spirits, current and from the past, have the space and time needed for reflection and wonder. Interspersed with sun and shadow, we move along hopefully understanding life’s meanings as we amble…

    I do like the way you match you haiku to your photos, I can almost see the shades walking through.

    beautiful haiku along with the photo – I love this. I’m wondering what their shoes sounded like on the stones.

    Do you feel them as you walk in their footsteps? I certainly do.

    An evocative shot.

    Oh, Brother, where do
    You go? On my quest, I must
    Go to the Stoa.

    This looks like a beautiful place to go to seek solitude and reflect..I like the perspective of the long walkway. Lovely shot.

    Happy New Year, MMT!
