I See You Against The Sky...
Posted by Pavan Kaul (Mumbai, India) on 18 July 2010 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
~Rainer Maria Rilke

That is a fantastic quote. Absolutely fantastic. No truer words ever spoken. I love that you share it. And share this gorgeous shot. It's a perfect illustration of the Rilke. Wonderfully seen and processed! Always a joy.

@Bettina: It's my pleasure and privilege to share my thoughts and work with you Betty, for you always make it richer with your own interpretation...and never fail to see what I am trying to say! Thank you so much:)

C'est manifique, Pavan ! Ce ciel, le contre-jour, le fil ténu entre deux plumes... quelle force, quelle poésie !

k@ from Paris, France
The fire of passion in that stunning sky (oh that red, gorgeous !) behind the distance of sweet & clever reason.
A beautiful image, Pavan, and such a great quotation, it's a man (and woman ! ;) hard job in loving to respect that distance & realize its absolute necessity (or respect of the other). Bravo.
18 Jul 2010 6:23am
@k@: Every creative effort is an attempt to communicate...to share, ideas, thoughts and feelings. There is no greater gratification than to be told that you have succeeded in this. Thank you, Karine, for being one of the few who never fails me here:)
SOUL AFLAME from The bosom of Mother Nature, United Kingdom
There is such a cinematic quality to this wonderful frame, Pavan. Like a still from a film, a key scene, a moment of significance, and together with the words, a great piece.
18 Jul 2010 6:41am
@SOUL AFLAME: Thank you my friend. I cherish your wonderful remarks:)
Tamara from Aarschot, Belgium

Fonts from Barcelona, Spain
A great lesson in humanity Pavan ... one more! The separation distance, complicated relationships ... magnificently represented on all the elements that we teach. Why is it that mankind strives constantly ignored and inflicting damage? I think I will die without having the answer Pavan! Thank you very much for a new image that brings us closer to each! Best regards, Adela
18 Jul 2010 7:43am
@Fonts: Thank you so much Adela, for always appraising my work with so much honesty and sincerity. Any work is worthless if it does not communicate. You have always been among the few who make my work a success! My sincere thanks, once again:)
Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain

QB from Canada
Oh, as always, fabulous. What can one say? Technically, aesthetically... it's been said.
It's a great Rilke quote. And oh...the birds could be doves, couldn't they?
The photo becomes more than itself. It becomes a symbol. You don't get much better than that.
18 Jul 2010 9:13am
@QB: Thank you so much for this most wonderful remark to my work. All creative effort is worthless if it fails to communicate. And if we do not share thoughts, feelings and ideas with our fellow artists, with an honest appraisal of one another's work, we do a great dis - service to none other than ourselves! It is only encouragement that drives us and that is all we need to exchange here. Thanks, once again, for your kind words and encouragement:)

Would you mind if I posted this on my blog red is | . . . | ? It’s a blog about the many types of emotions that red provokes.
If you don't mind, please send me an email at bheldphotography [AT] gmail [DOT] com. Also, it would be helpful if you could tell me the most intense emotion this photo provokes in your mind. Thanks :)

I just love this fiery red and the birds sitting solitary but yet together - possibly looking at each other" - alone in the world at this time of the night. Love this.
