Only An Umbrella...

    Last week I saw this red umbrella in an ancient church. The light was shining through a window and set a spot on it.
    Full of joy I captured the forgotten thing several times and sat down.
    Nobody was there and in the wonderful silence I could think my thoughts.
    Without the striking light I would have never seen the trivial thing...
    When the light is vanishing nobody will discover the umbrella ...
    When will miss the umbrella´s owner his useful object?

    Oh My God, what a happy person I am thinking of such banal things...

      I love the translucent quality of the fabric, its a lovely image, I think its the light that does it.

      This makes me very happy, too, Elfi... I can relate to this so strongly. This is how beauty happens for the soul.
