Golden Hour
on the first
summer evening
The sun low
on the horizon
the air so mild
and mellow,
filled with rose fragrance
and then
churchbells start calling
for Evensong
*
Photographed
in Vienna's Rose Garden
where at times all the world's love
mingles with the fragrance
of the roses.
Six o'clock is a magical hour
in Vienna - the church bells ring
and the birds join in chorus
for Evensong.
I open the window wide
and listen.

I have imbedded music
in all the pictures here -
just click on the roses
and enjoy.
My daughter G is playing Pachabel's Canon in D on the piano, while I prepare this post. She still is. I remember an early summer afternoon in a Venetian church, listening to the same music, not sure what is was. It was the string version, played on original instruments. I shall always remember that moment when time stood still in that church, now turned museum.

ReplyDeleteIncredible colours on these roses! The Pachelbel was lovely, and so was Cecilia Bartoli - thanks, Merisi, for this beautiful interlude.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the roses could be more beautiful in 'real life' - the music adds another dimension to the photos. Enjoyed!
