Better Not To Know
Somewhere a stranger sits on
a hillside. Somehow a light
shines deep in the night.
The man with the purple face
has three fingers on his hand.
He looks upward, face frozen.
The buzzards have gathered.
Is he dead or alive? A woman
raises her arms, cries out.
Is she sharing his pain? Sometimes
it is better not to know. Another
man sits—in prayer, perhaps.

Hello Miki,
a fascinating night scene, looking a bit menacing to me.
Wishing you a good Saturday,
Eva

The theme is sorrowful, BUT the Stranger in the Night awakens our longings – serves us the reminder of the light and thus awakens the dreams inside the viewer. Thus what was the flat surface of the picture becomes the spaceless wonderland – life without the strangers – the sense of being in a hug of love.
The painters paint the canvases, but you do much more – talk with the ageless wisdome and and free your vievers from the pasive viewing by involving into the hearty talk.
THANK YOU

Oh Miki, they just keep getting better and better. And the comments generate so much introspection as well. We each see ourselves in your -scapes and go on journeys with our own spirits. I keep seeing Miki and Kev as well, each muse to the other.

A stranger indeed, but not a person. My imagination holds him/her closer to the flat top headed “ET” In spielberg’s fammous movie. It has an amorphous body that ould be anything. The shadows make our imagination run wild. Also, the dark alley with branching streets looks like a woman clamoring to the figure for something.

toujours ces couleurs qui me font rêver.
Merci pour tes passages fréquents sur mes images, et tes commentaires sur Thomas…
Bonne soirée

The dark alley was meant as a tree as a figure… but I can see the alley now..and ET too!
@Marie
Thank you. I really find that you are a great photographer of a great model.

The effect is very “effective”. I wa snot sure if you had made the tree purposedly look like an alley or the alley was made to look like a tree. I like the many suugestive images and colors.
