An Oasis

2007.03.19







I went down to Cambridge today to see The Namesake— a wonderful film based on a fascinating book. On the way I drove on one of my favorite roads and imagined the green beneath the snow.

Cambridge, with its urban character, wrestles with snow. A bicyclist simply left his cycle locked up while the Old Burial Ground lay under a clean blanket of new snow. Then, in a few short blocks—a flower shop filled with colour.

SuperG Intrigued by the Title of the set or should I be? I enjoy the sunken appearance left by the snow.

photopoet The title refers to the flowers. After a snowy day and the return of cold temperatures — finding the flower store was an oasis in the winter landscape.

LisetteT Encore une belle série.
Je suis amusée par la 3, un vélo oublié?

photopoet Lisette, Yes, it is either a forgotten bike or someone simply didn't care about the bike. It was chained !

Venkat your posts too are like cinemas, for they always have a vast canvas, and many mediums merge there... and so many finer details pop always... totally engrossing...
