9 June 2022 Thursday - Love in foreign climes

These series of love portraits are a selection from the PAMSC study trips; a departure from streetscapes and buildings, and perhaps a result of too many days away from the ones we love. 


On a distant Sunday, these two people caught my eye.

How he listened as she spoke, and never took his eyes off her.

Now years later, I wonder he still has eyes only for her.

(and listen when she speaks).

We came across this park on one of our walking tours; Sara said it reminded her of the Paris parks she had seen in movies. It is clear why - the tree-lined avenues with lawns in between them, vistas guided towards fountains and statues, the crunchy gravel underfoot and couples cuddling on park benches. Clear signs of the French influence in Shanghai's past - so it seemed appropriate that we would meet this spritely couple; not young in years but still youthful in their step. Sara took this series of shots; as they practiced - coaching and encouraging each other - quite oblivious to the crowd which gathered to watch them; envious of their dancing skills and also their obvious enjoyment of each other's company.

Their hands were not touching, but their heartstrings must be intertwined like their feet.

As the bus slowed to round the corner at the United Nations Memorial in Casablanca.



Young love has winged feet.
