Bussana Vecchia - Pan's Perspective
Sometimes, we just have to get things in perspective.
Think about it - we've all got problems, not enough money, we don't feel well, it's too hot, too cold, too much rain. Then - think about this satyr - stuck in a niche in a village destroyed by an earthquake in 1887. All he can do is play the pipes of Pan and wish he could get more comfortable.

Parfois , nous avons juste à mettre les choses en perspective.
Ainsi, nous avons toutes sortes de problèmes , nous n'avons pas assez d'argent, nous ne nous sentons pas bien, il fait trop chaud ,il fait trop froid, il y a trop de pluie.... Alors - pensons à ce satyre - coincé dans une niche dans un village détruit par un séisme en 1887. Tout ce qu'il peut faire c'est de jouer de la flûte de Pan et d'espérer une installation plus confortable.

Oh it's making my legs ache just looking at him stuck in this position Jilly!! You're completely right, when you look at the 'big' picture, things could be worse.
ReplyDeleteKeeping one's perspective is important yet sometimes it is SO hard!
ReplyDeleteFantastic picture! And I'm glad that this little god was kept, through time and events..
ReplyDeleteGreat post on perspective, poor Pan! Wasn't me that told you about the boat wreck at Noosa. I have really enjoyed your ruined village series.
ReplyDeleteClever. Somehow, I don't think that this niche was made with him in mind.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked my dog photo yesterday. I thought you would.
Very wise words, Jilly. A great take on today's theme :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this perfectly composed image, it is something unusual and strange, even mysterious.
ReplyDeletehe does look stiff, poor pan.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to be reminded of this ... Pan has been around a while I guess.
ReplyDeleteA clever interpretation, Jilly. I guess I do have it better than that guy.
ReplyDeleteNice theme day shot!
ReplyDeleteHe's great! Devilish. I wonder if he pushed out a saint statue that might have 'lived' there before he usurped the seat.
ReplyDeleteOoh, there's a story here . . .what's behind the window? Why is pan crouched like that? What's about to happen?
ReplyDeleteNow that does put matters in perspective. Great image and theme day words.
