Rembrandt’s View
Lens Artists Photo Challenge #266 is ‘Time’. It takes a lot of time to tell everything about the concept of time.
One of the best musical stories about time is by Pink Floyd: Time of the brilliant timeless album The Dark Side of the Moon, that was released 50 years ago.
This week I try to show aspects that come to my mind. The first is history at present. Places where important moments in time happened. Which you observe from the present.
This is a recent sunset over the Galgewater in Leiden. ‘Where? Why? Of what importance?’ I hear you say. At the bridge on the left side of the frame Rembrandt van Rijn was born. A copy of the mill his father used for his business is on the right. The only thing Rembrandt would have seen is the sunset, and the mills. All the buildings and boats etc are ‘after Rembrandt’.

Hi Chris. I love that you included Pink Floyd in the mix. And the photo of Galgewater, Rembrandts view is stunning. That one photo speaks to many aspects of time. His life, changes in the landscape, the day meets nights….day after day. Very nice. Thank you for joining.

Thank you for your kind words! Time of the Floyd sums up a lot of the aspects of time as a concept. We are blessed with the ability to look back before we go forward. If we use it that is 🙂
