'Fate is at your Elbow'


'Live not as though there were a thousand years ahead of you. Fate is at your elbow: make yourself good while life and power are still yours.'   

~ Marcus Aurelius.



'Ne vivez pas comme s'il y avait encore mille ans devant vous.   Le destin est à votre portée. Profitez et alors, la vie et la force sont toujours avec vous.' 

~ Marcus Aurelius

  3. Proof positive that there is always a new way to photograph something. I plan to use this for my photography class. Very creative and the light /shadows make it more so.

  5. Wonderful angle, Jilly !
    I passed so often behind this statue, photography it, never thought choosing that angle.
