Detail of a Stage in Waiting

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~
Folds of a curtain create interesting shadow distortions!
The window ledge suggests a stage, waiting for the curtain to open on a performance!
Maybe a New Year performance!

Subdued shaded stage
New Year waiting to happen
Hope for peace and love

Ralph said...: These window treatments are lovely, the lighting evokes a curtain under the spotlight. The audience waits for the band to begin the interlude and the performance to begin. A nice look, and a Happy New Year to you!; December 27, 2009 7:47 AM
Sweet Repose said...: The stage is definitely set, wouldn't it be wonderful if it was set for PEACE...we'll keep that thought in our hearts all the way into the New Year.

I hope you have a wonderful year ahead dear friend. Each year full of lessons learned, we grow into our soul beings, longing for peace and love all around the world...as we grow to care for each other in this complex world.

Breathe in a big ol' gulp a salty sea air for me friend, they are the healing salts of the soul...along with that beautiful Australian sunshine.

Thanks for the view lil' sister...blessings...
