Photographer’s Note

Beautiful Rotunda Mosta

The Fact of Beauty

Definitions of beauty are many and varied. For example, beauty has been defined as “truth,” “the expression of an ideal,” “an assemblage of properties satisfying the aesthetic sense,” “harmony in diversity,” and “an intrinsic quality of things themselves.” While definitions do not agree, there is no uncertainty concerning the fact of beauty. A formula cannot contain and explain it, but, for most of us, beauty in some form is almost continuously present. Even those who are forced to live in comparatively drab and unpleasant surroundings find frequent opportunity to experience the delights of beauty: an expression, a face, a garment or some trinket, a bit of cloud or sky, the sunset or the landscape. While men differ widely in their capacity for appreciation of beauty, some enjoyment of beauty is possible for all. ~Harold H. Titus

Hi Betty,

when I wrote on the post before this one, I would ask you to post an image with a closeup of the architecture...here you are with that :) Interesting details. I like the play between the curves and the perspective. Very graphical and attractive. Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Betty,

This detail of Rotunda at the St. Mary's, the Mosta Cathedral, complements magnificently your last post. In the detail of the capitols are the small spirals that I found especially alluring. Your note invites deep cogitation. Warm regards, and enjoy a rejuvenating Sunday.

Bonjour Betty,
il y a de la recherche dans les angles et le cadrage, cela donne un graphisme étonnant appuyué par des couleurs rosées un peu inhabituelles.
Ellles se marient bien avec le doré pour donner un résultat somptueux.
Bien vu et excellent week-end.
Daniel.
