But there are also the landscapes we bear with us in absentia, those places that live on in memory, long after they have withdrawn in actuality, and such places are among the most important landscapes we possess.

Variations on a theme by Alice C.Gagnon @alicecgagnon1
Ah ! there's the lily, marble pale,
The bonny broom, the cistus frail;
The rich sweet pea, the iris blue,
The larkspur with its peacock hue;
All these are fair, yet hold I will
That the Rose of May is fairer still.

TY @lgvd for 📎 it !
Perhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there's someone there to see us. We cannot properly speak until there's someone who can understand what we are saying. In essence, we are not wholly alive, until we are loved.

You can take a 📷 of a leaf but that doesn't mean you've taken possession of this thing in your soul. Only when you ask yourself questions, e.g.: is that side of the leaf darker or lighter than the other, that we start to notice details. 2/2

We need to make ourselves pay attention. Ironically, the ease with which we can create a 📷 works against our very desire to notice properly. We may have to do a subtler thing: discover what something means to us. We may need to put the📷 down and sketch. 1/2
"No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life!"
Samuel Johnson to his friend James Boswell while they were discussing whether moving from Scotland to London, Boswell might eventually grow bored of what the city had to offer.

Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places.

@ampomata Thanks so much for this, Ángeles, I've just viewed more of his art. Love his imagination, the unusual perspectives...
