Autumn Scenes
Vienna and Venice


Looking out the Window
Scaffolding covering a façade waiting for fresh paint.
The morning sun striking the green netting casts
the grey and white facade in an unreal light

Painters
add their own colour dots to the scene

Red arrived from stage left,
just to the right of the sun-lit
turquoise door

The other evening
I noticed these dayglow-orange pails
all lined up, disappearing moments later
with the sun setting in the west

Another luminescent good-bye in the twilight glow,
this one in Venice, at the Arsenale location of the Biennale.
Com' è bella La Serenissima!

  1. It is interesting how the green netting in the sun alters the whole colour and atmosphere.
    Love the last photo.

  2. Merisi, seeing the layering of subtle color and the arrival and departure of other hues somehow reminded me of ballet choreography.

    Wonderful pictures of two cities.

  7. She's always beautiful La Serenissima. Still the envy of the Adriatic I'm sure.
