The world, a stone icon upon which the wandering film of life gathers into wealth,
culture and its handmaiden, religion ( dare I usurp ? ), breathe life into the hearth,
and artistry warms the flanks; building a comforting palace, mounts about it,
stone icons of self.
Very serious comment...I adore this photo, I simply regret the presence of the too big and too dominant black element on the left side, maybe you really meant to leave it there for a reason that I cannot grasp, but in my humble opinion it unbalances too much the harmony of the whole image, without bringing anything more to it from another side.
I love the atmosphere of the mystic courtyard....This is really Rome!
