Pretty European hues and gothic architecture dominate the character of this photograph.Very easy on the eyes.

But it’s all a matter of perspective.

I connect with the photo through the figure at the tip of the spire. 

Not because it looks like she’s happily gazing over Milan.

But because to me, she feels ready to leave the world. About to lean in. About to jump.

Amazing how perspective divides and transforms everything.

Amazing how depression dims the light in a person’s world.
