OK. I'm obsessive. I had to add yet another picture of this monument this week. From this perspective, the stone on which she writes "he shall live" reflects the heavens on a warm spring day. Heaven, indeed. And oh, so alive.
There's a poem in there somewhere; her written words and the reflected sky. She's wonderfully intriguing--you're making me want to go visit her, no matter how far the journey!
Is that just a reflection? That is amazing. I had to look at this long and hard as I could not quite see which way around this photo was taken. Still on sure but the reflection is just great.
