My photo of the sun during Thursday's sunrise made me think of Icarus.
SIEMPRE ME HA fascinado el mito griego de Dédalo y su hijo Ícaro. Dédalo hizo alas de cera y plumas para él e Ícaro. Advirtió a Ícaro que no vuele cerca del sol o del mar. Pero Ícaro, vencido por la alegría de volar, voló demasiado cerca del sol y las alas se derritieron. Cayó al mar y se ahogó.
Mi foto del sol durante el amanecer del jueves me hizo pensar en Ícaro.

DeleteThanks. That zoom was a huge surprise when I downloaded it.
that last one with the birdie! you live in a wonderful part of the world!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie,
DeleteIt’s a beautiful spot.
That last one took my breath away! Gorgeous, and I could imagine Icarus too. Then my warped mind took over, and I saw a frowning sun with a lip stud.
ReplyDeleteDeedles,
DeleteI couldn’t believe m luck when I downloaded that photo. You have some imagination... and I can see your frowning sun he the lip stud!
Love that last one!
ReplyDeleteBob,
DeleteAmazing luck!
Strange that you should mention the topic as 'twas but yesterday when I was reading the W.H.Auden poem 'Musee des Beaux Arts' - which I've know from before anyway, but still..a little bit spooky.
ReplyDeleteRay beard,
DeleteSerendipity.
Amazing photos!!!!! I too like Greek mythology. I just compared the end of summer, which I hate to feeling like Persephone going back to the underworld for 6 months. My mother Demeter always start to weep which explain why fall sets in and winter in her depressed state explains the dead of winter. When spring arrives, why know Demeter is happy again as Persephone in return to earth for another 6 months.
ReplyDeleteMaddie,
DeleteWow! I love the way you think.
Holy cow, what a pair of photos!
ReplyDeleteJudy,
DeleteThanks. It’s a surprisingly good zoom for so simple. But the timing of the gull was pure luck. I didn’t even know it was there.
Isn't dawn a wonderful way to start the day? So full of promise and potential; just don't crash into the sea. You captured it well.
ReplyDeleteWilma,
DeleteThanks mi could share one of these views every day!
Those photos are stunning, Mitchell. Stunning. And the myth of Icarus is one of my personal favorites.
ReplyDeleteGreat post today! :)
