ReplyDeleteAll are lovely. I really like the lighting and shadows you captured on the church. The last photo of the well worn clapboards and wreath has a wonderful wabi- sabi quality. Thank you sharing these.
ReplyDelete>wabi- sabi quality
DeleteMaybe I am showing my age or it is a geographic expression but that is the first time I have ever heard that expression. :)
Hi, Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. A beautiful house with flaking paint, a beautiful rusted iron gate, oxidized coper. Things which are effected by the elements , wind, rain etc. There is an interesting book by Leonard Koren, Wabi-Sabi for Artists,Designers, Poets& Philosophers.
ReplyDeleteand the lack of foundation planting does not distract the eye
ReplyDeleteYou are right again. It does not distract at all. ‘Tis the lasting beauty of New England cut stone.
DeletePerhaps a stretch, but one might even say there's a wabi-sabi quality to forgotten keys in the trunk lock of a beautiful vintage 380 SL ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs there even a wee bit of wabi-sabi in the sometimes seen little rusted spot aside the rear wheel of a high mileage Subaru?
DeleteWabi-sabi in the eye of the beholder!
DeleteOr even in the wrinkles of a 64 yr old , not that I would know LOL :)
DeleteSheer perfection! Thank you!
