They certainly looked like they were waiting for you Eric! Our romantic minds were working overtime, spurred on by your misty-eyed lens!

However, the grandeur of it all doesn’t diminish the everyday gestures - or the casual intimacy - of this anonymous couple. Instead, it amplifies them, such that her fascination with the moment and his apparent disinterest (yes, I’m assuming much more than I should) take on operatic proportions. This probably accounts for (but doesn’t excuse) my insertion of a narrative element into this image - which, in fact, tells us nothing at all about the interior lives of our two “lovers”. All we really have is a mystery, which, at one end of the scale, is as ephemeral as a gaze and, at the other end, as eternal as the cosmos. What links these two poles, and creates a continuum of emotion that extends far beyond the confines of the frame, are the dramatic perspective lines formed by the glow of lights and the glistening structure of the bridge. All of which converge on an unknown woman who, at least for as long as we are looking at this photograph, is the vessel of our own dreams and fantasies.<BR/><BR/>Love may be in the air, but is it hers or ours we are feeling? I suspect that, as in the case of all great romantic images, it is a combination of both.Volmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752019421419951656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1164405094673275792006-11-24T22:51:00.000+01:002006-11-24T22:51:00.000+01:00Me too, Johnny, just thought it was my usual techn...Me too, Johnny, just thought it was my usual techno hopelessness!Cheltenhamdailyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00518073757785956012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1164402126062965072006-11-24T22:02:00.000+01:002006-11-24T22:02:00.000+01:00your favorite bridge as you always say... has rea...your favorite bridge as you always say... has really nice atmosphere in your picture. love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-1164402002109447992006-11-24T22:00:00.000+01:002006-11-24T22:00:00.000+01:00Michael, I clicked on the Listen link on your last...Michael, <BR/>I clicked on the Listen link on your last comment of Jonasz but I just got an amazon thingey.
