Interesting contrast - reminds me a bit of this
ReplyDeletehttp://www.hermes-press.com/Perennial_Tradition/magritte_apple.jpg
There is an irony in your contrast... since even the bush (nature) has been made to conform..... nice pic.
ReplyDelete@Richard.......Quite so. Well spotted.
ReplyDelete@Shaun.....The Reformation and then the Age of Enlightenment; discovery of the rules of Nature meant you could attempt to control it. The harsh conditions of life for the common man contrast with the controled mathematical elegance of the manufactured world. A fascinating Age. How was it in Ancient Greece and in Rome?
Maids of Honour row. How perfectly named. beautiful proportions and as you say shown off so beautifully by the curve of the bush.
ReplyDeleteC'est donc l'image que tu voulais que je vois pour le travail du poseur de briques ; cependant le Seigneur a bien oeuvré aussi en faisant des arbres qui se taillent si bien et ensuite remplissent la surface de leur frondaison avec des petites feuilles. Un beau travail de jardinier aussi.
ReplyDeleteCela fait un cercle vivant et des lignes inertes et une très jolie composition...
