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.

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

Mmmmmmmmmm, I really like the cultural aspect of this photo!!!! Like an ancient ruin.
ReplyDeleteLovely 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.
ReplyDeleteI really love the big fat shadows the inner side of the arch leaves on the wall

Hard to believe this is abandonned. A lovely photo. My sister lives in San Miguel and I have sent her the link.
ReplyDeleteLove this shot.
ReplyDeleteIt conjures up the feeling of ancient history and deep reflection.
Great verse you accompanied with it too.
Cheers,

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!
ReplyDeleteLots of angles and directions my eyes could take. I know I'm late but my shadow shot looms large.
ReplyDeletegreat shot! lot's of shadows!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot!
ReplyDeleteJust the sort of place I would love to take a wander.
