I thought of Street Art, which is definitely transient, but then I decided to revert to type and show a bit of decay – the remains of things are testament to their existence as viable entities at one time but now a shadow of their former selves like this classical Roman pillar in Sicily, and those flowers in the foreground will lead an all too transient life:
Single Classical pillar amidst tangle of wild flowers

Nice take on the theme, Sue, and good composition.
Best wishes, Pete.

I’m with Pete, really good composition Sue.
Many thanks, Gilly! I was disappointed when in Sicily, because I wasn’t able to get about as much as I would have liked to capture the ruins and the wildflowers….so this image is important to me
Fantastic photo. Shows the flourishing that always leads to decay. With the sky as another transience.
Yay! You picked up on the sky…I wondered if anyone would! 😊
I love how you have focused on what is and not what was in this photo. The living flowers adds another dimension to the transient Roman decay.
Glad you like it, Otto! I was disappointed not to have succeeded in capturing more ruins as backdrop….
I think the hint of the ruins is more than enough. 🙂
Thanks!
Sue even without the deeper meaning this is a brilliant photo. Makes my heart happy just to stare at it.
A happy heart has to be a good thing, Sue!
great composition and interpretation Sue!
Thank you, Hannah!
Every week, WordPress is giving me headaches when I try to access some blogs. Today it was with yours, but I am here finally. This is so cool 🙂
Yes, WordPress can be fickle at times! Glad you like this image, Paula!
This is a beautiful image, Sue. 🙂 🙂 Your poppies are well and truly transient now, with all the rain, but I’m garnering roses.
Well, I shall look forward to some roses!
Do you want withered ones? 🙂
No, not necessarily….a nice juicy bud or two would do!
Ahhhhh, great shot and perfect pick.
Thank you, A-C….it was a marvellous place (but I would have to look it up to be sure that it was Selinunte
