Do you ever find yourself drawn to an image?
That seems like a ridiculous question because I'm willing to go out on a limb and assume everyone has found themselves drawn to an image at least once in their lifetime. We may not all be consistently visual, but I'm sure even the most linear of thinkers has had a moment of visual pull. That moment when you glance at an image and you can feel your soul sigh and you find your eyes brightening just a tad and a small smile tugging at the corners of your mouth.
I love that moment.
I have that moment a lot, hence all of the images on my blog, the fact that I'm constantly taking pictures and the copious amounts of art I continue to accumulate. I like the memories that come with old images, and the daydreams that are rooted in new ones. I like the comparison of other people's interpretations of scenes from my life.
I was caught a little by surprise today when the image above caught my eye, made me pause and caused my mind to start to wander. It's not the usual visual that instantly catches my attention. I'm far more drawn to urban scenes than to nature or tropical images, but something about this one makes me feel happy. Despite wanting to delve into my psyche in regards to this (reminiscent of Australia, perhaps?), I think I'll just settle back and enjoy the mental adventure this image takes me on.
It is, after all, a Monday and goodness knows those can be rough.
I was going to say Australia when I first saw the picutre and thought that was where you were going! Old photogrpahs get me like that. The history of them...love.
ReplyDeletei am the same way - i am drawn to images and i love putting up photographs and being able to remember the happy times from pictures and just thinking about the time and people and places.
ReplyDeleteand just being drawn back into the moment even for a few seconds...
