Power of Light

Aberdeen, Scotland

A chink in the sky on a very rainy driech day in the North East of Scotland
The shaft of light lit the Aberdeen harbour entrance up wonderfully
This is not converted to black in white, these were the true colours

Leonard Cohen said it best in Anthem

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every government --
signs for all to see.

Kevin Chester18-Sep-2011 13:27
I feel like the feel of this, it makes you feel that little bit more humble than before you glanced at it.
Phillip Normanton18-Sep-2011 12:39
A hole in the cloud - was it letting something out... or in?! Very dramatic either way!
