They do say one way to spot a vampire :) is if they have no reflection in a mirror.. I wonder, does it work the same way for angels. When in the city on Monday I caught the reflection of a business man, but in the reflection he is minus his wings! I inverted the colours to protect his identity, angels must remain anonymous to carry out their good work. I actually do believe there are people in this world who through their compassion and good-will can rightly be called angels and this man may well be one of those people but the explanation for his angel wings is a little more simple. The work of US artist Colette Miller, you can read about her 'angel wings' concept here.. must get Aimee to do a bit of posing for me :) Happy Wednesday, take care..p.s. just a little ironic, or perhaps planned, that the wings are within sight of the Basilica :)
Wonderful capture Grace!
ReplyDeleteI do love this!! A great capture indeed!! Hope your week is going well!
ReplyDeleteze bestaan dus wel.
ReplyDeleteYou are a clever one, Grace!
ReplyDeleteCamera at the ready ~ well done Grace!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I want some wings!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI always like John Travolta's wings in "Michael" too.
I'll look into this. PS - EXCELLENT photo.
ReplyDeleteDear Grace I tried to translate my words in English language by my translator and it worked. I'm angry with Blogger.... I don't understand because some people can't translate my comments.
ReplyDeleteHere it's the translation of my post:
I took these photos during the return flight from Lofoten aboard the twin-engine turboprop of Wideroe.
Your shots are gorgeous. Wish you a nice Wednesday. Kisses from Italy.
Picture I like.
ReplyDeleteI believe that there are angels and take care of us. :)
That is such a beautiful idea - and great shots, Grace! Sad she leaves in September!
ReplyDeleteP.S.... Hope I at least can meet Mermaid Amelia, my Niece´d be thrilled...
DeleteI LOVE it! What a perfect shot. I like to think there are angels among us... in all forms. :)
ReplyDeletePerfect capture! Arianna
ReplyDeleteWell seen & well done!
ReplyDeleteMade me smile:)
Love it. Nice work with the photos
ReplyDeleteThanks for the explanation, otherwise I would have found it hard to go to sleep tonight trying to figure out how you had pulled this brilliant one off!
ReplyDeleteSo even heavenly messengers have to use a phone these days.....
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo Grace! I love it. He is looking a little angelic, cell phone and all.
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic photos Grace! I was confused at first until I read your explanation.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grace. I appreciate you protecting my identity.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like that!
ReplyDeleteI love that first shot!
ReplyDeleteThat's a clever artistic idea and a couple of very clever photographs.
ReplyDeleteYour art work is most creative. Love the first photo with your processing.
ReplyDeleteI just bought a shawl with big wings for me!

I think the artist would love your photos. I certainly do.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great capture Grace, to have caught the guy in that spot!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great photo Grace, So unusual to see a businessman with wings! Great find.
ReplyDeletei love the idea of the wings but wow, what you did with them, amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove it -- especially with the men in business suits. The concept wouldn't be the same with women in dresses, would it? Clever, indeed! Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love those!
ReplyDeleteAngels can take human form. They can also appear as animals.
Did you put him there? Good show!
ReplyDeleteThat is a sheer genius take Grace- fab, and I'd like to believe in guardian angels too. Will post about that myself one day/
ReplyDeleteCute angel, did he call you for a photo shooting? :)
ReplyDeleteClever artist. Neat way to create awareness and interaction with the art.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's true, I have wings. If you don't believe check out that fine photo blog about Perth, is what he is saying.
ReplyDeleteOhhh!!!
ReplyDeleteNice treatment at the first.
Nice idea!!!
Hi .. lovely and funny shots.
ReplyDeleteI love the interactive aspect of Colette Miller's concept.
ReplyDeleteThe shot you caught is a wonderful one. Do you think the man ever realised he was standing in front of the wings or was it purely coincidental? He looks completely engrossed in his phone call.
