Adela Fonts from Barcelona, Spain

Oh! mythological gods! Eos Greek god of the wind or you mean Eos, goddess of the Romans l'aurora) I think so ... but I can confuse me! ... A brief photographic note the wind picks up ... an Aphrodite cast in the light ... a passionate encounter ... ! Happy idea! Abena friend a hug!
Let's dream a little! A hug, Adela

24 Mar 2013 11:17am

@Adela Fonts: I forget which one is which as well! I love the topic of Greek goddesses .Here I was trying to show Eos, the goddess of dawn, who was cursed by Aphrodite. Beautifully said Adela, thank you ! Looking up at the sky lets me dream a lot, it's lovely ! Hugs, Abena.

I'm so in love with your pictures. The light and the textures are beautiful. I can actually relate deeply with this image: it's like finally being able to breathe after realising I've been holding my breath for a very long time.
