1475 - I Came So Far For Beauty


I’m on the train back from Vienna to Carinthia, and at least on the mountains that I crossed around sunset, there was hardly a trace of snow left. To the contrary: it was the most beautiful autumn landscape with the most perfect evening sky above. Of course I couldn’t take an image from out of the train, but I thoroughly the view.

But let’s not talk about today. It’s Friday and this is the post for yesterday. I took some images of flowers and this is a composite of two exposures. One had the better background, one the sharper flower. I don’t really understand how the background could have been different, I hardly moved at all. The golden sparks in the background may be lights, filtered through the leaves, I have no idea, but I definitely like the effect.

The Song of the Day is “Came So Far For Beauty” from Leonard Cohen’s 1979 album “Recent Songs”. I’ve bought some Cohen albums recently, and although the title is maybe a tad far-fetched, I thought I just have to point you one more time in his direction 😄

Here’s the song on YouTube.
