Timing, Gesture, Stillness ​ She leans against the column, and in the indeterminate wait, she and the pillar become one. ​The yearning soul and the column that sustains it. The human surrendering to the immobility of the architecture of things.

@Mike Thompson I see it now, Mike. I was so focused on the stillness that I captured the 'absolute state' rather than the 'moment of settling'. I missed the threshold tension you asked for—a valuable lesson in timing. ​The truth is, my world is deeply rooted in Stillness. I committed to the total surrender rather than the moment of transition. I don’t have the energy to chase the 'before or after' right now; I am drawn to what stays.

@Mike Thompson Thank you, Mike.

​"Light breaks where no sun shines; Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart Push in their tides; And, broken ghosts with glow-worms in their heads, The things of light File through the flesh where no flesh decks the bones. A Dawn breaks behind the eyes; From poles of skull and toe the windy blood Slides like a sea; Nor fenced, nor staked, the gushers of the sky Spout to the rod Divining water through the tracts of fly. ​Light breaks on secret lots, On tips of thought where thoughts smell in the rain; When logics die, The skies of trout above the innocent eye Canvass a world; Hearted alarums thin a blood of syren. ​Night breaks on its own nights, Where no sun shines, the stars throw shafts of bush; The thumb-and-player bird. Through the wood of the limbs the hooded eye Glows in the sun; When the vats are full, the seed of generation Stabs the dry world and gushes from the owners." Dylan Thomas

@Carina Gustavsson Thank you very much!

@Carina Gustavsson So refined. The essence is perfectly captured. Personally, I prefer the color version, given its soft contrast and the subtle shading with delicate detail.

@Galina Romalis Very, very good. The black-and-white treatment conveys a profound sense of serenity, but also—and above all—a very strong feeling of emptiness.

@Carina Gustavsson The building has been completely transformed. The cropping, combined with the shift in tone, gives us the impression of a place lost in time and even in space. The somber atmosphere is dramatic and intriguing.

@Mike Thompson Don’t worry about it. My memory isn't at its best lately, but I'll likely remember it out of the blue. If not, it's really no problem at all.

@Galina Romalis Thank you very much for the apreciation!
