Mirrored 4
He shook his head when I approached him along the bank of Mtkvari River and asked if he spoke English, so I gestured that I wanted to take his picture to which he nodded. What I was more interested in was the symmetry created by the Peace Bridge‘s reflection on the water as well as the converging diagonal angles of the ledge and his fishing rod. What came out was a less than perfect symmetry but nevertheless the rod and the ledge somehow contributed to the interesting combination of lines and shapes in the photo.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

The drag of endless mental work in a strange land takes its toll. Fatigue can kill so petty escapades provide hopeful deviations from the brewing madness. An aging DSLR keeps good company to a walk around the neighbourhood, a short drive to a scenic place, or a silent recollection in a quiet nook granting that the host community and the elements of nature would allow one a safe passage to solitude and contemplation. Loneliness quickly turns to joy when something exciting gets captured by the cam’s shutter then set free into the laptop’s screen followed by electric words that rush from the fingers to the keyboard in an effort to describe the moment. Alas, the brain is alive once again!
Great series!

Was the misty, hazy light from the light contrast or was there a touch of moisture/fog in the air? It makes the bridge look even more like something from a dream.
Happy Valentines Day to you, too!
