"See you make a wish and try to break some glass-you've got to be a pretty good shot these days--oh no George don't, it's full of romance that old place..."
Just in case you all don't watch the movie every year...the quote is from "It's a Wonderful Life" while George and Mary are out walking after falling into the school swimming pool.
Not a lot of romance here I have to say. But, it's what I thought of when we saw this room and the bricks. We had permission this weekend to explore a couple of abandoned buildings on an old property. I sure do enjoy photographing abandoned places.
I'll post more pictures tomorrow, but I wanted to leave this one by itself.
The metaphors are poignant here. Life is metaphor and it's completely by design, of that I have no doubt. Divine design.
I saw the scene and was drawn to it and so took the photo, but I didn't see the metaphor until I began to edit it.

There is someone inside looking out.
Damage is done.

I am definitely on the inside looking out and what I see makes me sad most of the time with a few sprinkles of hope here and there. When did so many get so angry and mean?- oh yeah I remember Nov 2016
ReplyDeleteI too love abandoned places. I wonder who lived there, will the walls have words for me? What do I sense?
ReplyDeleteExcited to see your other photos. There is a place, not to far from me, where old cars go to rust out and die.
I have been wanting to get some photos there.
You're right - this haunting photo illustrates the devastated feeling that comes with hurt done by others, intentionally or not. We are fragile beings.
