A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel --
A Resonance of Emerald --
A Rush of Cochineal --
And every Blossom on the Bush
Adjusts its tumbled Head --
The mail from Tunis, probably,
An easy Morning's Ride -
Poem by Emily Dickinson
Photographed on this morning
of 18 May 2013 between showers -
and imaginary mail delivery -
at Prince Eugene's Upper Belvedere
and the Belvedere's Alpine Garden

No, no special effects - I simply turned the reflection of the Upper Belvedere Palace upside down. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe reflections are a joy to see.
ReplyDeleteIt was very windy at times, and I almost missed a moment where the small wind-swept waves would allow some reflections.
DeleteRide, Bush, and Evanescence, three good bands.
ReplyDeleteI love Emily Dickinson's imagery, like these few lines, her take on the postman delivering the mail, or the world.
DeletePhotos like paintings, particularly the first one, that wonderful blue ! Did you have the poem at hand to be so inspired ??
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of many poems I know by heart. I improvise a lot when I put together a blog post. I took about 350+ pictures this morning, and these are the ones that inspired me. Today. Tomorrow, who knows?
Thank you for stopping by my blog, Merisi. I did leave you a little response to your question. These images are so soft & pastel-like, tender, misty impressions... going so well with her poetry...
ReplyDeleteYour photos offer us another world ! Thank you !!!
