In the Gloaming

Ave Maria!  Something else well-worth checking out is this exhibition, "In the Gloaming."  If you'd like to enhance your visual experience of these wonderful images, listen to Elizabeth Lennox singing this song on YouTube, as recorded in 1920.  About the exhibition:  every month the Maine Photo Alliance, which was founded by my incredibly artistic sister Ann L. Krumrein, posts a new selection of images from the portfolios of its members.  I'm always amazed at how each one provides a different depiction of the theme for the month, sometimes startlingly so.  These photographers see things that most of us have never noticed or paid attention to -- but we will now, thanks to them.

P.S.  Two other very nice recordings of "In the Gloaming" on You Tube are Robert Merrill, recorded in 1949, and Jackie Hags and Felicia Chen, two high school girls singing a capella.  Yes, I do like this song an awful lot, even though it's a bit sad.  Read more about it here.
