The PHOTO CHALLENGE for this week is:
Half-Light
Share a photo inspired by a poem, verse, song lyric or story.
I took this photo while in the Holy Land a few years ago with an early version pocket digital camera and added a little editing effect.
For my poetry, I’m selecting a couple of excerpts from Joseph Brodsky’s reflective piece, “I Sit by the Window.”
I sit by the window. And while I sit my youth comes back. Sometimes I'd smile. Or spit.
I sit in the dark. And it would be hard to figure out which is worse; the dark inside, or the darkness out.

Timely capture for the Easterish season!
I was a bit “bursting from the tomb” inspired when I reflected on this Holy Land image (and reflecting on the darkness within ourselves in need of that light). Thanks for your comment.
I love the thought of the resurrection. Can’t wait!
Love the sharp clean quality spreading out of the light and the poetry.
Well, I can take no personal credit for the making of either of those – hehe. But it was a surreal moment to experience the one, and a reflective moment to pair it with the other. Thank you for stopping in. 🙂
Excellent image. The light is not just a component of the photograph but it is vibrant and alive and really impacts the viewer. A very powerful scene…
Thank you, Galen. I suppose that vibrancy and life is to be greatly considered when John’s gospel proclaims that the light came into the world. Be blessed.
