[ The motionless pilgrim ]

in Photography Lovers8 months ago




It is with great pleasure that I invite you to discover a series of photographs captured during one of my recent professional expeditions in a city in western France. As usual, my cherished moments of discovery intertwine with those of meals. I usually strive to enjoy my meals in a natural setting, whenever circumstances allow. Among my discoveries stands out a magnificent motionless pilgrim, frozen in time. Destiny seems to have dictated his presence in these places, where he seems to have found his eternal residence as a sculptural work. However, he is not alone in this frozen contemplation. Accompanied by several friends, including Rabbit Janeau, who tickles the hedgehog, and the little bear nestled in his kangaroo pocket, as well as the snail, proudly claiming the title of the fastest, perched on a hat. This peaceful assembly seems to patiently wait, while time flows gently. However, there is a slight regret emanating from each one, that of not being able to see each other, but only to hear each other. Immobility, dictated by their condition as works of art, prevents them from moving at will. The pilgrim, faithful guardian of this unusual group, seems to protect them from potential predators, in the hope that their fragile composition will withstand the elements. However, the longevity of this ephemeral work remains a mystery, as only time holds the secret. Although I cannot predict the evolution of this work over time, as it is unlikely that I will return to this region, I remain confident that caring souls will watch over the pilgrim and his friends, who have found refuge there. I thank you for your attention and invite you to appreciate these moments frozen in eternity, witnesses of an unalterable harmony between man and nature.

Thank you very much @quraton for this very valuable curation and thank you also for your encouragement which motivates us to do better next time.

They will look better with age as the moss starts fully covering them. A few well placed mushroom plugs could add some interesting hair or hat features.

Indeed friend @sketch.and.jam, in this work it would have been necessary to make a hole so that a squirrel could settle comfortably inside. Afterwards, as you say, with mushrooms and some wild herbs, it would be even prettier. Thank you for your message, it makes me happy!!
