Lesson Two: Remember Where You Came From But Don't Let That Be Your Reference Point

2008.12.29
Slavonski Brod, Croatia

And I was reared on the 8th floor of that building in Petra Kresimira IV where my parents are still. One child in Dublin, Ireland, the other in Iraq. I dreamt of leaving. Flying.

Robertthebob There is something quite forceful in the picture - maybe its the building or maybe it is what you say - but I find it quite compelling and have looked at it far longer than I normally do.

Jarvo A sagely title and a striking image.

I'm happy to have thought of a similar photograph as an amazing photographer!

Nellinka Nice story. I couldn't live in such a building, I think..

MeusCorpus Its quite bizarre but this shot reminds of those shots of hotels and package holidays in holiday brochures, like thomsons and the like, I can't begin to imagine how far from that this really is.

MeusCorpus I did live briefly in a very similar looking building in leeds, it has been long since demolished, it was uglier and very grey in comparison to this.

makaid Very nice. The branches fragment the image of the building. Their barren state definitely portrays a solemn feeling.

gderuiter I just had a long conversation with a friend yesterday about the importance of shifting reference points in this life. Without them, we would become stuck and would not fly, as you do, helping others find their own wings.
