Times of transition.. Can be mysterious as well.. Here just some little chips..

.. as I had to stretch the motto a bit :
Only can I hope, that it's still somewhat ok that way .
- my shot for dawn, is still half-darkness, with a tiny little ray of early sunshine
which gave some faint highlights to spots of reflection..
Dawn or Dusk..The tiny ray on the Maori mask & on Breguet Type XX
- the other one, for dusk this time, has been shot in the eternal City of Rome;
here it is close to darkness, but some residual light on the tic-tac in the
wonderful surroundings of two very famous fountains there:
Hope I don't bore you with some infos below thereabout:
But first the little Collage & 2 world famous fountains..
Dusk.. Roman Fountains.. Trevi & 4 Fiumi vs DSA-EU
La Fontana di Trevi ( the biggest Fountain in Rome): There are 3 fountains ( tre),
combined in one, but also 3 small streets ( "tre vie" in Italian)..
Here a little guide through the Collage :
- middle panel / left with the TT DSA- EU.. Fontana di Trevi
- All other five pics ( upper & lower panels and middle right are from:
La Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi ( Fountain of 4 Rivers) on famous Piazza Navona,
where the Allegoric Figures rule..
- You'll see those nicely on the Collage of the second pic above
This latter Fountain (1648-1651) symbolizes the Rivers Danube (for Europe),
Ganges ( for Asia), Nile ( for Africa) and Rio della Plata ( for America).
A truly global approach in the Baroque Times of the 17th century, sculptured by Bernini..
Just my little 2 cents..
All the Best & HAGWE,
