Lovely haiku. And that photo of yours just takes my breath away. What are those masks? They’re quite intriguing.
Hi Rigel, thanks for your comment. These are masks people wear during Carnival in Venice, or buy as souvenir during the rest of the year, of course
It sounds like an old proverb… Very nice indeed.
Yes, it may sound like this… but it’s not. Thanks for your comment
a more creative way of saying we all have skeletons in our closets?
Hum… yes! when you wear a mask you hide yourself behind it and show a new-different face-feeling. So, who is the real “you”? Carnival had a very special meaning.
thanks for commenting
Intriguing!
Thanks Fiebs, I’m glad you like it.
very, very true, Laura!
It wasn’t an easy picture, for sure! Thanks Francina
…and those beautiful Venetian masks hide those shadows…I like this graphic composition. Liked.
Hi Janina, I took the same shot without the passing woman, but it wasn’t that good. This one is more intriguing with all those blind eyes looking around. Thanks for your comment
