I was enchanted by this old couple crossing the street in Antigua, Guatemala.

Ah, there you are, I missed the last two.

I like this one. You have us right in the brick and mortar of the building behind, as though the building itself speaks. And does Architecture, the stuff we live in, record the memories of our lives?

Everytime I watch documentary on World War II I shudder. All those beautiful buildings destroyed.

Further, the subject – the crossing people – intruiging.

- I love the complementary antiquities – the people and the buildings… and the technicolour clothing of the women… Architecture most definitely holds memories – some call them ghosts – but I think it can hold emotions and vibrations, feelings… why else would we get a ‘feeling’ from a place? Or a sense of having been there before?

2017 – year 9 for Titirangi Storyteller

Yeah, yeah, I keep promising to be better, but it just doesn't happen... I seem to have been so busy with my ever expanding business, which is primarily managing other people's social media, I've truly neglected my own. And it's just easier to post on Facebook, though strangely, it's not as personal as posting here. I will endeavour to be better. And make the time to post here, cos I'm never going to just have the time. VMcP

Miscellania

If I were an island, I should lay in wait until a kind bird came and sat upon me to keep me company. And if a shipwrecked sailor drifted upon my shore I would be in heaven.

Do you feel like an island? Or like a sailor? Maybe it depends on the day or the time of day or the island or the sailor. I'd rather be a bird. Would I rather sit on the island? Or on the sailor sitting on the island? And what of the water? Surely the water would want to have a say in all of this. The water would probably insist.

Appease the water, bird, island and sailor, dazzle it with trinkets and pretty words.
