Ailsa proposes a White theme in honour of the International Day of Peace on 21st September. That’s today.
See her white things here: http://wheresmybackpack.com/2012/09/20/travel-theme-white/
Some people, she says, observe a minute’s silence at midday, but that time has already passed for me. It’s just after two in the afternoon and I’ve just received her email. Still, I can observe it with my photo of two white figures on the steps of a white church, Le Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, in Paris. As I stood watching this scene (2 years ago), it was mid-morning mid-week which confused me when I saw the bride. She posed for so many shots that I wondered if she were modelling. If she had indeed just been married, then her husband must have been a very patient man.
The other figure that looks like a white statue isn’t. He’s another very patient man.
Delicious 🙂
Great entry for this week´s Travel Theme, Trish.
So the item on the plinth is really a human statue? He looks so real I wonder if many people noticed him and gave him anything for his trouble.
He fooled me for quite a while. He only moves when someone puts some money in his hat. Thanks for the compliment.
Thanks!
great contrast composition of the statue in prayer and the bride
that is amazing…how do they stay so still?
Thanks, it is! But it was completely unintentional on my part. I wonder if the statues were doing a white theme because they knew the bride would be posing there…
I wonder if they’re this patient when they’re not acting…
interesting point that
I like how you drew the similarity between the groom and the white statue. =)
Wonderful – white statue, white dress, and the lovely Sacré-Cœur!
Thanks. I wasn’t sure on the day whether the man holding the bouquet was a real groom or a model. If he is the husband he’ll need the patience of a human statue if he is to live with that woman till death they do part. For the ten minutes I was watching, he was not included in any photos.
It’s amazing how easy it is to find a photo to match a theme. When I read it was ‘white’ for this week, I thought I had nothing, until I skimmed the files…
