Mask

Another horrible wet day here, so I had to fall back on a quick
lunch time still life.
The Venetian mask is a holiday souvenir, bought around ten years and carried across Europe when an air traffic controllers' strike saw us getting a train from Milan to Paris, where we caught a flight home to Dublin.

You really have a talent for excellent still lifes, Margaret, and this is no exception. I particularly like the light highlighting the mask. V.

Wonderful still life composition.

It's fascinating how objects like that can serve as a reminder of the events that they relate to.
What I find interesting about the shot is that although the shapes of the mask and the guitar are obviously very different from each other, the parts that have been caught in the frame seemed to echo each other through their curvature.
