My immediate reaction to a photo of Engin Akyürek by Mehmet Erzincar. “L'homme officiel Türkiye"
On the salty sun drenched whitewashed wall, an angel 's hand is resting. Of his long journey, remains the almost invisible shadow of his wings. He stands still, in the midday light, watching the sea. He is here now, in that radiant earthy, scented body, offering himself. Revealed against the white light. Our gaze travels, lingering on his flower like lips, his soulful eyes and the elegant posture of his head. Before throwing himself body and soul into that world calling him, we sense a questionning, an hesitation, a slight bitterness almost. Withholding, absorbed by his thoughts, before going on his path.

I thought of the marvelous "Wings of desire "film by Wim Wenders as son as I saw this image.
