My Bio

About the profile picture : original painting (Lesender bei Lampenlicht / Man reading by lamplight) by Georg Friedrich Kersting (1785-1847), a strangely haunting piece which can be seen at the Oskar Reinhart Museum in Winterthur (Switzerland).

Strange feelings assail me as I settle down to introduce this latest entry of " Gems By Lamplight ". It has been seventeen months, almost to the day, since entry #18 : even by my rather low standards, this is undeniably a slowdown, which can be attributed to many reasons, but makes me look with something like nostalgia at the good old days of 2015-2016 (the digital age seems to accelerate everything, including the lapse of time before one is reasonably entitled to feel nostalgia), when I was most active on DA.

If this new dawn is heralded by @videodude1961's quietly hopeful capture of industry in the great outdoors, a darkening of the soul soon follows with @MarkTurtoo's fascinating picture of a lone fire in a forest, while @Vitskog's trip down memory lane is suffused with bittersweet beauty. The new Star Wars films may have cost a dragon's treasure to make, but it has been worth it, if only for @winter-herdiscontent's marvellously moving art. Next, @Enyril skilfully portrays mournful anguish under an uncaring sk...

merci pour ton badge de coeur donné sur

Les dames 02

La mise en perspective de ces deux figures féminines, hiératiques autant qu'élégantes, le méritait amplement. Bon anniversaire (avec un peu d'avance) !

C'est sympa, merci pour tout :)

Many thanks for the badge, much appreciated

All your photographs have a charm of their own, but I chose this picture of Brig Station because it brought back fond memories of my early years ! Thank you for that.
