Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI loved these photos and the many window views you managed to include in them, especially the last one that looks like you "accidentally" caught a distant car window through the bus window. I wonder what narrative was happening there!
ReplyDeleteMy book club recently watched the film Amélie that includes a character (the Glass Man) who struggles year after year to recreate Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party, in particular, the girl in the middle of the painting whose face is seen through a wine glass. The old man uses his difficulty in painting to bring out his introverted young neighbor (Amélie): "What do you think she is thinking?" And the conversation continues over several scenes; slowly Amélie voices her own feelings and desires and gains the confidence to act upon them. The Glass Man becomes forever changed, too.
In effect, I think your window-focused photos add a bit of mystery and yet fulfill the strength of your allusions to Dickinson and Chopin. This trip is indeed giving you a new window into the future--a new perspective of England, Exeter U., Shakespeare, friendship, scholarship, and .... many more. Thanks so much for inviting me to share in your journey.
Stay warm though, the rain does look chilly!
