All The World Is Green Photo

Photographer’s Note

All The World Is Green

He:
I fell into the ocean
When you became my wife
I risked it all against the sea
To have a better life
Marie you're the wide blue sky
And men do foolish things
You turn kings into beggars
And beggars into kings
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
Let's pretend we can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green
She:
Let me lie about it all
Call back yesterday
We lay down in a shady grove
With the yellow buds of May
Now the shadows are getting longer
Winter's moving in
It is colder than I remember
That it's ever been
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
Let's pretend we can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green
She:
The face forgives the mirror
The worm forgives the plow
The questions begs the answer
Can you forgive me somehow
Maybe when our story's over
We'll go where it's always spring
The band is playing our song again
And all the world is green
Pretend that you owe me nothing
And all the world is green
Let's pretend we can bring back the old days again
And all the world is green
He:
When the moon is yellow silver
On the things that summer brings
It's a love you'd kill for
And all the world is green
He is balancing a diamond
On a blade of grass
The dew will settle on our grave
When all the world is green

I took that image coming back from a dive outside the reef in the ocean, during the long travel back on a Dhony.

Cioa Paolo,

The water in this shot has a different colour than the rest of your images from Maldives. It looks more tempting than ever :O) Nice small white clouds on that blue sky.

Beautiful, Paolo!!

:) Tina

Hey Paolo,

oh yeah. Great green. A great postcard shot. What Im impressed by is that you show that one needent travel to India and SE Asia to photograph monks to build a really exciting portfolio. Its encouraging to someone like me whose wife simply refuses to go to India and Burma on vacation. Damn, and I really wanna go.

cessy (13647) 2006-01-24 11:10

frankly, it looks very weird
so interesting the colors
very good contrast with the sky and cloud

tjanze (5674) 2006-01-24 12:07

Hi Paolo!
Good soft composition.
I see grafiti on wall in my home town.
It calls "Green,which I love you green".
I think someone want to tell us something about beautiful nature,just like you.

toni_al (15430) 2006-01-25 14:32

Salut Paolo
Malgre le passage de Neat Image, le couleurs et la composition restent superbes. VACANCES!!

Ciao Paolo,

Green and blue, hard to believe it's so green, but having been at the Maldives I know that the see is quite green in places depending of the depth and the bottom. This a picture you could only see in dreams -
Ciao - Izzet

Clairedelune (4883) 2006-02-04 18:03

Wow Paolo!
Again, very wonderful colors! I especially like the green color that is very striking! Oh! I would like to see that with my own eyes! The small puffy clouds are very good also, a plus to your picture, for sure! It is so good to see this picture when here (Quebec) it is grey, grey and again grey! A very sunny picture!
Claire
