May Flying Carpet 2017

The Light in the darkness  
Zooming in April through  
rural France, Barcelona, 
Lisbon, Sintra and Paris  
has left even The Flying Carpet  
a bit breathless for the last month.  
In La Chartres-sur-le-Loire  
where light and shadow coexist


 Sunbeams are focused 
and imagery magnified
through translucent glass filled with water
in a a brocante that looks like all my dreams


In Montmirail...
spiderwebs capture dawn in the graveyard
 

windows capture iridescence in the gloaming


In Vendome
prisms sparkle in The Church of the Trinity 


In Sintra at Monserrate
light on white on white
 

In Lisbon at Pavilhao Chines
toy airplanes swirl around the ceiling light
 

In Giverney 
 waterlilies luminesce against dark water


light floods the incomparable YELLOW kitchen


Frank Gehry's ship navigating
dimly lit clouds 
at the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris
 

If only time would multiply like these reflections
 

 Many years of thanks to Zack
