It didn’t stop me, because it was breathtaking. But it was beautiful.
The clouds, like an outstretched hand, cupping the sky. The light trickling through its fingers. The light of the day above its hand, the light of the night below. Slowly disappearing darkness. Icy winds, tell the coming of the rain. Gentle rumbling, easily mistaken for shifting furniture. A melancholic nostalgic feeling running through the canvas.
Does a picture tell the complete story?
Maybe not.
Do words tell the complete story?
Maybe not.
Put them together. The complete story?
Maybe. But not definitely.
I could not be definite that it was a dawn. Even though it was.
Today the dawn looked like dusk. Maybe it was meant to.

Absolutely beautiful pic....the subtle reds and the greys take it out of the ordinary realm!
Anil, Sudarshan - Thanks.
neap - Thanks for dropping by and commenting. I quite liked your one liner! ;-)
Phal - Thanks. Yes, I'm traveling, but the internet travels with me for now at least. :-)
Sometimes the skies merely whisper a hint of possibility.
Great shot.

looked quite breathtaking to me, buddy! Ure quite modest, really! sigh... modesty is something i just can't understand! lol.
on the previous post, i loved the sad tinge u used at the end - sometimes, things don't happen'... but whether they do or not, I wonder whwther u believe in that old line about everything having a reason...?
have fun on ure trip under the stars - wherever u are!
'The clouds, like an outstretched hand, cupping the sky. The light trickling through its fingers.'
Just purrrfect :)
i almost thought that this was becoming too much of a routine of mutual praise. but then you have indeed woven such a beautiful niche for yourself that it's hard to resist being moved.
once again, breathtakingly beautiful! bless the eye, bless the words.
*sigh* Your pictures, your words.. What can I say..
Great photo. I like the way the cloud looks like a hand. It's almost like the sky spirit dropping the bright ball of sunlight toward the waiting earth.
Liked your words as always. Seems to echo with my soul as if some other possible me had written them.
Best Wishes

endlessecho - Yes, I did that on purpose. I wanted to words to speak before the picture this time.
Garrison Steelle - And sometimes, that is just enough for us.
livinghigh - Thanks. I was not as happy about this one as the earlier "Silver lining" view. Glad you liked it. And yes, everything has a reason ... :-)
Miss Qt, Pincushion, Megha - Thanks.
wandering dervish - Thanks for your comment. No mutual praise here, I do really like your stuff and hence I comment on it. Yours was one of the first blogs I started reading when I was introduced to the blogosphere. Keep it coming. :-)
luz de la luna - Thanks. I sort of thought this time that the hand was playing with the ball but not really dropping it. I guess that made it dawn! :-)
I don't think I have ever liked a piece of yours more than I like this one. So simple and so completely intricate also.
i think what adds more to the pictures is what you write about them.

neap, Jessica, Ariel - Thanks.
aparna - Thanks. Do drop me a link next time. I think I have seen some of your comments at livinghigh and phal's blog. Are you the same?
Blackempress - Thanks for coming out of the shadows. I haven't read your blog before, but am off now to read it. :-) Hope to see you around!
I like the image of the clouds, like hands, cupping the sky. I see an image of hands wide open, a mother's outstretched arms, a child ready to receive a present, a beggar asking for food or change. That image is so powerful for me.
It sounds like you were ready to receive the day, and what a gorgeous beginning it was.

great writing here.
aparna - Thanks for clarifying.
Billy - Thanks.
wishbitch - Yes, dual mediums bring out so much more.
