Did you take this Photo?

It's a really beautiful and unusual shot.

By the way you posted this thread it seems to me you need someone to give you the first word.

peace

If I'm not in the photo, then I took the photo. : )

Wow, that is surreal, enticing, and almost haunting! Can't wait to hear about your experience.

curiosity....patience........my doodlebrain.........I love surrealism.

Surrealism in which milue...your own or another's?

I don't know why, but I can almost hear that person thinking. Perhaps I do know why........

I don't get it. What's surreal? Am I being stupid? Nice vegetation.... :-) Seriously. I've just come back from a Sustainable Development conference which focussed on rural development in Africa. What's haunting about the picture? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thingy? lol. Apologies in advance for any offence-not intentional. Genuine question.

Yo I don't know if I even have a milue.......forgive my ignorance but what is a milue. I am still courious about your unusual post.

Well...first off, I misspelled "milieu".

Surrealism is perspective based. What is surreal for one may be commonplace for another...like Kamini.

Hided from the sun
Sleeping in the dark
This misery well protected

Rays of light chasing you
Captors of energies
On the roof of your being

My swan beauty
Wake up, with no fear
Now, it's destination darkness...

the red of robe worn by the person in this photo connects me to some photos I took a few days ago. But the red was the dress of a friend and it was in Germany. The contrast of the red and the greys of the cobble stone streets create the beginnings of surrealism to me. Dualism in harmony.

The red robe in you photo is complemantary to the vegitation but it is the sky that fasinates me. It seems to drip down onto everything else in the picture.

The figure also looks like he is about to step into another dimension because of the strange fuzzyness in front of him.

Did he disappear?

> just figuring out how to put into words

don't bother trying nobody will ever get it.

this is fine though I'm very happy for you :)

Hello Saira!

Pardon me, but do I sound that out like 'Sarah'?

.

Was your experience related to this picture?
Did you want us to guess or were you asking for help?

Jean-Francois: Dear Sir, very real. Very real, Sir.

Unbelievable...exactly! Was it a woman?

In my past life I was a cow.
See me here, now...
following my Master
back to our beloved pasture.

I miss my hard labor,
and the inherent good
to be found in toiling.

The ground of my being lies underfoot.
I well knew the ancestors of this vegetative state.

Now I walk behind once more,
wishing to cultivate my understandings.
What I leave behind me, this time around,
is nourishment for the next in line to swallow.

'SI-ruh' is how I pronounce my name. But you can call me Sarah if you like : )

Actually I have a surreal experience everyday working for the European Commission! I was going to correct your spelling of milieu-but I thought it was rude! :-)

P.s. Si-ruh, I love your articles on love and stuff. Please read my stories on Kavita's blog if you have time. Byeeeeeee, K

Existence and the universe itself is surreal, we just get used to it...

There is nothing more bizarre than awareness or self consciousness, and without it for all intent and purpose no thing would exist.

"If I'm not in the photo, then I took the photo. : )"

Well this whole thread is a bit surreal, Saira, but I feel your statement above is a clue?

You captured someone who had already captured you in his 'dream' perhaps. It was a dream. I'd say it hinges around the manner of the person's progress in passing.
