RE: Ghost Town - photography and thoughts on crisis by @mariandavp

in #art7 years ago

That's a sad situation and a photo edited in a most deserving way.
The photo gives the watcher the feeling of a great promise, with it's stylish old fashioned buildings and the way the road leads you to regal looking gate, with a promise of trees and grass where you can rest and enjoy the fruits of your investments and hard work, a feeling that thise who put money into such grand projects must probably expected to feel.
But - the scene color scheme is black and white and ghostly faded, and we are left only with a memory, with a faded reality of what could be - disappointed by the powers that made all of our efforts be in vain.

But - the picture might be ghost-like, but it is also a bit dreamy - like a hope, not a strong one but one that still exist - and I do hope the poor people of Greece will return to their grand days, this country is so pretty that it feels so wrong the situation is so dire right now.

Thanks for the photo, I really enjoyed it - in a melancholic way.
