a different light








believe it or not, both of these photos were taken on the same day within 2 or 3 minutes of each other. the difference? one is taken facing north and one is taken facing south. i absolutely love the contrast between these 2 photos. it was one of those delightful serendipitous moments when i shot them. the sunny side photo was taken first and as i walked past i looked to see what the back view revealed and liked it even better. isn't life a lot like that? doesn't time, maturity and perspective let us look back on events and see them in a completely different light?

take care, my friends!

Just had a few minutes to catch up with your blog.

These photos, actually all your photos, are fabulous! And I love the metaphor in this post. Maturity does have it's advantages. Love the wine piece you did, too!

I completely agree with you that life should be lived to the fullest, and blogging should take a back-seat to many things. It does have a tendency to take up too much time, doesn't it?

I hope everything continues to work out for you in your job situation.

Hugs,
Angela

Nice contrasting views, even better application of the principal of the way things appear to us.

Wow, what a big difference. It also shows how two people can see things so completely differently. It just depends on where you are standing. I love the brilliant blue in the sunny pic and the clouds in the other.

It is amazing what perspective can do... I think this is a lesson learned for all... when making any decision we should step back and look at things from another's perspective, from a different viewpoint... although this isn't always EASY to do!
