The valley of rain

She
She would never be
Never be what they expected her to be
An island
Surrounded by sea instead of me
An island

I
I would give her pain - too much pain
She would have to turn away
Back the way she came
To her valley of rain

The valley of rain
The valley of rain

You
You would try to steal her away
And that's OK
But she
She would never go with you
And I would never give her away

The valley of rain
The valley of rain

Do
She would never do for you
What she did for me
But I
I would give her pain
She had to return
Back to her valley of rain

The valley of rain
The valley of rain

Bonjour, mon ami Paolo,
Une image de 1995 qui possède un charme fou ! La numérisation est très réussie, car la publication rend bien compte de la beauté de ce paysage marin.
Un joli poème pour accompagner la photo : un régal !
Amitiés.

Wonderful sunset colours on this shot and they are so well reflected in the river. I particularly like the glow from behind the mountains.

Ciao Paolo,

Stunning sun set colors are in your frame. I like also its dominant tones that covering your frame. Silhouettes at background are also very nice with clouds. Your frame is more valuable with your lyric from Giant Sand. Bellissimo. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Hi Paolo
These colours are stunning. Don't think I've seen a sunset with this colour palette before. The quality is good for a scan, and holds up well. The cloud pattern plays well with the colours and the texture of the waves are well brought out. Nice impact from these very warm colours.

Ciao Paolo,
fantásticos colores con tonos naranja en esta imagen del atardecer. Los elementos de la composición están muy bien proporcionados en el encuadre, el mar, las montañas coronadas por nubes bajas, y el cielo con más nubes que parace arder con la luz del sol que se oculta.
Excelente imagen, y muy bien escaneada, con gran calidad.
Saludos,
Josep

De très jolies couleurs et un joli poëme qui illustre cette vue.

Ciao Paolo,
oggi mi sento romantico e malinconico e perciò questa foto pittoresca calza benissimo all'umore attuale. A parte gli scherzi è un'esplosione di colori caldi bellissimi. Le nuvole sembrano le scie di qualche razzo, il mare sembra lava colante, mentre il monte sullo sfondo sembra essere appena esploso. Muy bonita imagen! Complimenti e ciao.
Attila
