Shadowy Amphitheatre

Amphitheatre

Abandoned amphitheatre, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

no strutting players
mumbling their memorized lines
only one hand claps

I know I should be drawn to the light...but I want to ascend those shadowy steps.

Magical Mystical Teacher said...

The layout is all wonky, and I have no idea why!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Beautiful, atmospheric photo where the stones whisper stories!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Gemma Wiseman said...

Can't do! Don't know why! The post looks OK in edit mode!

Gemma Wiseman said...

Found it! The photo was reading right alignment yet all the rest of the post was in the middle. Like a disagreement of commands! All fixed!

Paula Scott Molokai Girl Studio said...

I don't know if that King James quote has been there all along, but I just now noticed it-what a great quote and I want to go to that amphitheater!

Kathe W. said...

gorgeous shot- I love the state of Guanajuato!

Scrappy Grams said...

I would so love to visit this part of Mexico. I love the texture of the cobblestones.

Beverley Baird said...

Lovely shot! Great shadows and stone walls!
Great haiku as always!

Gaelyn said...

Looks like a cool and refreshing place.

Mmmmmmmmmm, I really like the cultural aspect of this photo!!!! Like an ancient ruin.

MyMaracas said...

Lovely play of light and shadow. I like that the shadowy part is in the foreground; there's a sensation of being led into the light.

Dianne said...

I really love the big fat shadows the inner side of the arch leaves on the wall

Jim said...

What a beautiful scene the amphitheater makes. It has a very peaceful feel to it. It looks to be well maintained even though it is abandoned.
Happy Sunday!

Michele M./ Finch Rest said...

Gorgeous!

Thank you for hosting!

pembrokeshire lass said...

I love the feeling of peace there and yes I could almost hear the ghosts of those long gone strutting sir lines! Joan

Maggie said...

How peaceful and serene, I could easily sit there and while away an hour or two.

Betty Manousos said...

Daryl said...

Alexa said...

I love the shadows, but in this case the light as well. Don't know why it's been abandoned, but it makes a great photo!

Jazzbumpa said...

The sound of one hand
Clapping echos in the stones
And silent shadows.

Cheers!

Leah said...

Love this shot.
It conjures up the feeling of ancient history and deep reflection.
Great verse you accompanied with it too.
Cheers,
Leah

FiveSibesMom said...

Love this...it is like a puzzle with the shadows, steps, and stones all leading to somewhere special...almost like a step back in time. Great haiku...I can almost visualize the Shakespearean players milling about in their finery!

colleen said...

Lots of angles and directions my eyes could take. I know I'm late but my shadow shot looms large.

darla said...
