Lost in magic - (St James Park)

            
A beautiful white swan photographed in the magical sunset light in London St James’ Park.

“They whom we love and lost
Are no longer where they were before.
They are now wherever we are.” St.  John Chrysostom 

In memory of my beloved brother Roberto (R.I.P), tragically taken away from me too soon, a few weeks ago. 
Thank you for having been the most wonderful brother I could have ever wished for. The memory of you will be stronger than your silence and I will love you forever.

I would like to thank from the bottom of my grieving heart all those who have expressed their condolences and support during this really painful and difficult time for me. May God turn into happiness for you every single word of comfort and prayer that you have said for me.  I am still not able to be active on Flickr as I cannot focus on commenting on your beautiful artworks yet, but I am trying my best to get my strength back.
Being unable to comment on your works, I am disabling commenting on this photo, as I am aware of the fact that some people might not find it easy to express themselves in sad circumstances and I do not wish to make you feel uncomfortable.  I will show my appreciation for your work through faves during these days, with the promise that I will dedicate to your art all the attention that it deserves as soon as I can.  
To all those who have taken the time to e-mail me and contact me: I am and I will be forever grateful. 
You have made me understand that Flickr is not only a wonderful place to share art but also a virtual world where real feelings and sincere friendships bloom.  
With all my love xx
