Photographer's Note
Sorry for a moment of melancholy.
This place is a nice memory for me.
I would dedicate this photo to my old friend :-)
Nothing Twice Nothing can ever happen twice.
In consequence, the story fact is
That we arrive here improvised
And leave without the chance to practice.
No day copies yesterday,
No two nights will teach what bliss is
In precisely the same way,
With exactly the same kisses.
One day, perhaps, some idle tongue
Mentions your name by accident:
I feel as if a rose were flung
Into the room, all hue and scent.
The next day, though you’re here with me,
I can’t help looking at the clock:
A rose? A rose? What could that be?
It is a flower or a rock?
Why do we treat the fleeting day?
With so much needless fear and sorrow?
It’s in its nature not to stay:
Today is always gone tomorrow.
With smiles and kisses, we prefer
To seek accord beneath our star,
Although we’re different (we concur)
Just as two drops of water are.

czesc Beata,
jestem dupkiem: never heard of Wieslawa Szymboroska. (I am quite good in Italian+German+French+English literature....but I am missing the slavic ones...)
the poem is quite sad and reflective...and lets me remind of Eraclito "Panta rei" (everything flows). so this poem fits like a gloove to the image you posted...an almost lonely beach on baltisko morze...in autumn/late summer...as to show how the days before have left/changed into the incoming bad season
zabejesta fotka
pozdrowienia z wlochy (dzisiaj pogoda nie jest dobrze!)

Hello Bea,
This expressive composition of the almost empty beach and the lighting with heavy gray clouds helped you achieve a wistful atmosphere. Very nicely done.
Kind regards,
Betty
