Description
We shall never know who forged the word
for the interval of shadow
dividing the two twilights;
we shall never know in what age it came to mean
the starry hours.
...
Now we feel her to be inexhaustible
like an ancient wine
and no one can gaze on her without vertigo
and time has charged her with eternity.
And to think that she wouldn't exist
except for those fragile instruments, the eyes.
Jorge Luis Borges

I adore the use of contrast here... a real visual spectacle! What a lovely, vintage quality.

fascinating vignette effect. a fresh take on a miserably cliche photo: the receding road.
very moody: excellent job.
i'm astounded that you took this with a point and shoot digital camera. it bothered me at first, but i got over the humble lens through which it was shot.

Really beautiful work!
The contrast, the light and the choice of the shot match perfectly with the title. It creates a deep atmosphere.
I love this piece of writing as Borges too!
Best Regards!
