“Re-found one of my favourite photos today, at last. RIP Jesus I call it. A roof with a bright Jesus surrounded by bold blue glass and a scrolly design. His face is muddied, but I love how he shines out of the dark stone.”

    Enjoyed the four pictures very much. Rip JC my favourite. Jesus jumps out in the beginning followed by the cross.
    Closer examination shows the straight lines, all at similar angles, framing Him and His face and body trying to break free from the stone. The three areas of bright blue balance each other. When I look at it I also see some Scottish tartan and that makes me smile. Cheers John

    John, How wonderful to see that photo through fresh eyes – thank you for such careful appreciation of the picture. I love your comment about the tartan, too! There are six photos on the blog at the moment, so you might want to check out the other two. And I’ll be adding more soon. If you like RIP Jesus, which is one of my favourites, I think you’ll also enjoy Jesus stopping the traffic (he really looks as though he’s out in the street). Best wishes, Julie-Anne

    About me

    I was born in Montreal in 1967, grew up in England and live between London and Buenos Aires. Like many, I came to Buenos Aires to dance tango and fell under the spell of this city where strangers talk to you, tango music seeps on to the streets and the ornate crumbling buildings speak of grander times. I love writing and crafting words – I've worked as a sub-editor for more than 20 years – and taking photographs.
