Afternoons in the WF

I've probably mentioned that the light is always changing at the WF.  Especially in the late afternoons.  Now, with "Mourning Memphis" set, everything has an almost magical shadow.  It's something that's hidden...even by the camera...one has to see and experience this personally.  The experience is "extra sensory"...the eyes open wider through the dim light and shadows, sound almost modifies to complete silence, and everything just feels "different".  Here's a few images that really look better by the naked eye than captured by camera.


This Parisian incense burner sits on a marble top occasional table in the large parlor.  Note the background, though out of focus, there is a definite change of light and shadow.  And the camera presents a brighter image...it was actually very dark in the room.


Reflections also play a large part in how things look.  Reflections of objects, furniture, and light are manipulated and almost haunting, if caught off guard.  I adore this time of day at the WF...it's magical.
