This old Citroen lies in the garden of a neighbour, who knows why? It is loaded with stuff, so perhaps it has a practical storage purpose. It does not sit on a pathway or road but instead nestles under a tree in an orchard? What feelings does this image evoke?
This is a ruin of a famous spa in southern France, it was a popular spot in the 19th century. The owner left it at the height of its popularity to pursue the burgeoning market for mineral water, only a few miles away. This popular spa had hotels, beautiful gardens and even its own railway station, the whole complex now a returning-to-nature ruin. How does this image make you feel?
Taking both images is it possible to say that each image calls up different emotions? If they do, can you say how each image differs in its affect on you and maybe why?
there are many questions that don't have any answer just remain as questions...
ReplyDeleteBoth images represent to me the passage of time and previous uses. They also evoke feelings of something being left behind as well as moving on to something new and different. It is also interesting to see how nature is slowly taking posession of these and they are rusting and resting in peace. Some objects can be preserved or restored, but others have to be allowed to mellow, age and gradually deteriorate.
