As blue as in my dreams
So says Red (no irony intended) right at the end of the most feelgood of stories ‘The Shawshank Redemption’. Finally released after most of a lifetime in jail, he is sitting on a bus and hoping. And what he is hoping for is serenity … that purest of dreams. And searching through my pictures I came across this – the lake barely rippling and the castle reflected in it and nature effortlessly playing her part in making the most serene of pictures so that I with my camera had no more endeavour than a twitch of my finger to capture the perfect picture. For true serenity is a perfect sensation. A perfection most of us seek and find to be frustratingly illusive. Here’s my offering for the weekly photo challenge as a reminder that it can exist ….
Chateau du Val, Lanobre, Cantal March 2014
What lovely blues you captured!
Its not hard when the day is as still and perfect as it was that day, Albert 😉
Also we love that harness … red is your colour 🙂
Beautiful photo… you are so right… true serenity is “frustratingly illusive” 🙂
