Celebrating Maria

It has been three years since I held your hand, three years since I told you I loved you, and three years since I kissed your forehead and said 'see you soon'. Come sit with me.


For the last three years you have felt close to me, and that has not faded. After moving to a new neighbourhood, this bench became 'our bench'. A place where we could be together, me in my dimension and you in yours and perhaps gaze upon a common view; the magic of a shared sunset. A place where I wouldn't be surprised to turn and see you there, or feel your hand in mine. Love you sweetie! 

See you soon




* sunset: taken with a Leica Q3 43 (f/16, iso1250, 1/500). The camera was set to expose for the sky and the foreground was lightened in post with ON1 Photo Raw 2025. To the best of my knowledge, artificial intelligence has not been applied to this photograph. 

*tulip: also taken with a Leica Q3 43 (f2.8, iso50, 1/5) on macro setting. Photo edited to make it monochrome in ON1 Photo Raw 2026 (finally upgraded).
