madonna and child


sorry for the grainy photo. there is just something about this silhouette against this not so nice looking suburban backdrop that just really gets me. I love how the madonna's hand is reaching out.

this post is a part of my world tuesday. to share a part of yours or just see more of others, please go here, thanks to klaus for hosting with his team of helpers, sandy, wren, fishing guy and sylvia.

I can see why it "gets to" you. The image has an old world feel but is set against a modern background.

Beautiful evening picture! I like the silhouette with the background of the mountains: it seems to be a windy day!

I agree with Martha Z. It is an eye-catcher....Mary looks like she might be wanting to unscrew that lightbulb! :)

Great photo - the Madonna and Electrical Wires.

How can a community that's been there for eons not bury it's wires? Don't people care that this looks awful?
No wonder thousands lose power at the slightest storm.

Yes, a very interesting juxtaposition. An image that's just begging for a story…

Very powerful I like the way she is looking over the black clouds to the sun lit blue sky in the distance, and her little hand.

Beautiful and somewhat eerie photo. When I first saw it roll up my screen, I was a bit spooked. It really made me want to see the entire shot.
