Photo Hunt #108; Time

Posted on May 3, 2008 by archiearchive FCD

“No minute gone comes ever back again
Take heed and see ye nothing do in vaine”

are the words inscribed below the famous clock on the entrance to London Court in Perth.

St George battles his dragon every quarter hour and on the hour, the battle reaches a climax.

Yet even the most beloved places suffer from the ravages of time.

A family built and lived in this house. Both now gone the way of everything on this Earth.

Yet, while we can remember, the past lives. Memory conquers time.

And the herb for remembrance is Rosemary.

    ….. and, if rosemary grows well where you live, it is the woman who wears the trousers. Sorry, I can’t see you through all this rosemary – ho hum.

    Good take on the theme. All the shots are great and I like the contrast between the ornate clock, the house in ruins, and the stalk of rosemary.

    I enjoyed the way you put this post together to illustrate time. I think my fave was the rosemary pic.

    the second image is strangely disturbing….but we have to accept life as it is. ..after all we indeed have no other option.
