The Priest
We're back in the village of Gorbio for the inauguration of the church's new facade. Here, one of the priests who will officiate waits for his moment - hands behind his back.

This is a wonderful photo, so unusual.
ReplyDeleteAmazing what they have done with the church. Thanks for taking us through the whole process.
I like this picture. It has a sense of mystery. Love the hands!
ReplyDeleteThe picture shows a clean cloak. Is that a sign? The Pope is pleading his case about priests who abuse children – I wonder what stories he doesn't tell? I have nothing against Catholics or any other religion but I don't have any more respect for the clergy than I do used car salesmen and politicians.
ReplyDeleteStill, the photograph is nice. I like the composition and color contrasts.
Those hands, weathered and classic.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that his remarks are being held in such a dignified leather portfolio. I would be worried if he was holding some notes written on the back of an envelope or a napkin.
ReplyDeleteThe contrast between his smooth robes and his aged hands is stunning.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. Visually intriguing but seemingly simple.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful photo Jilly...ditto to Kathy's comment!!!
ReplyDeletewv: bessed...oops...someone forgot the l in the wv!!!
Jilly, you are a master of this type of shot. You see it and you capture. It is simple but so regal and elegant.

V
