Man,


Just looking at it makes me wish I was there.


The view is just.....awesome, IMO. I might just feature this in an upcoming journal feature I plan on doing

When I see this picture it remeinds me of how we can view, and imagine the endless wonders of eternity, but can't really experience them. I think the retaining wall of the balcony does this for me.

I agree with your take on it - Yes the retaining wall and the noticable door and hinge give it a two sided interpretation - either the depressing side that even thou opportunities abound we closes are self off to many and close to live in our little corner of the world

hmm that is a really interesting take on it, depressing and beautiful.

Love love love this, but seeing as everyone else only said good things I might as well criticze one thing: above the door frame there's some brown wall, or whatever it is showing. stock to the frame- it works so well, as D said, beautiful contrast, the brown or shadow or whatever it is on top takes it away.

Love

Thanks Jen! I haven't heard from you in awhile. How are you my dear? Any new works to put up?? (HOW AMAZING WAS THE SHOW?!?)
I totally agree about the brown, I wasn't sure to leave it or not because I thought perhaps if it was only the door frame it might get a little lost, but i the more I think about it the more I think to change it thanks for your help!

Bwha, just staggeringly beautiful.

Before I even read the title I called it, in my mind "Doorway To Eternity"...and there you have it. Just beautiful...looks so peaceful and I could feel the breeze in the air. Good eye!

I cannot wait to see your other photographs, I realized we forgot to do this after our dinner today. Next time I come over I MUST see them! I cannot wait!!! If they're anything like this I will die, but not before killing you in a jealous rage.

Oops.

Great picture baby!

I love how sharp the door is, and how hazy "eternity" remains.

well put, since we never really know what's behind that door until we are there ourselves.. thats exactly what i was going for, thanks!

ah awesome photo Jenny!
What I really love about it is the contrast between the strength in form and colour of the door&orch versus the softness of the view.
