When the lamp blinks out,
will you remember reading
ten thousand proverbs?

    What a blue, blue, blue cloudless sky! I was thinking it looked a bit like the architecture on the Grand Canary Islands.

    This is a marvelous picture. The sky is a gorgeous blue and you’ve centered the lamp between the two domes in the background. Very well done.

    Exquisite as always. Your style this time reminds me of Rumi, one of my favorite mystical poets.

    The heart remembers well when the light goes out, and is able to bring wisdom from the wellsprings!

    Reading in the dark can be altough challenge. I suppose those that walk underneath here would do well to memorise that passages when the light is actually working…

    darkness counterpoint
    to blue skies and lantern light

      Yes, the cathedral is at the center of everything in Zacatecas. It’s just about impossible to get away from it!

    A terrific view through this archway! Nicely captured.

    This is such a dramatic shot! The absolute darkness against the light of day. The curving architecture, the stark lamp out. And when we’re totally alone in the dark, will we capture our own thoughts and feelings, be afraid, remember reading those proverbs? Very enigmatic and magical, MMT~

    A beautiful haunting question in your haiku complements the delightful shadows in your photo!

    I love going from shadow to light with you, MMT. Very cool shadow shot!! And dramatic, as Margaret said.

    Enjoy the weekend!
