Painting hanging in gallery window
Across from cathedral
Oil on canvas suspended in air
Plate glass as translucent mirror
Sky and clouds in paint
Merge with sky in window
Seamlessly seeming to be
But all is illusion
Digital image regurgitates
Giving a glimpse
Around the world
Of colors on a screen
But what does it mean
How far is the distance
Between meaning
And meaningless ?
Cathedral in stone
Speaks of ancient rites
From another age
An age of stone
And superstition
While we deal and reel
In reflections
Illusions

how inspiring; great result Owen
What an incredible photo - and the eye to spot it. It's good to see your poetry flowing again.
Thoughtful writing, Owen... with Simplicity and Strength... works beautifully with your image.
Nice shot!
It's like merging parallel universes. It's almost as if we could walk through the glass into a strange new world.
"it might be an illusion but i might as well try"
The overlay of image upon image works really well...
Great photo and a fantastic poem!
Un reflet rare et superbe... C'est quoi comme paroisse, l'église qui se reflète dans la vitre ?
Many thanks, merci à tous...
L'église est à Treguier, dans le Finisterre Nord, Bretagne... et cela vaut le détour, plein de jolies choses dedans...
Ah Tréguier ! Je connais cette église, parce que je l'ai visitée au cours de mon tour de Bretagne (j'étais étudiante)... C'était il y une quinzaine d'année à peu près. J'ai gardé le souvenir d'un petit restau familial là-bas excellentissime. A la bonne franquette, hein, donc des plat simples (saucisse frite-maison, etc.) La dame faisait par ailleurs une sauce normande à base de cidre crème fraîche champignon à tomber par terre...
(soupir)
Bon, il va falloir que je retourne voir Tréguier, je sens.
Merci pour l'info, Owen.
