I guess this photograph means far more to me than to anyone who just sees this ... there are 3 seats behind this wall and the sea directly below.
It's a beautiful place to sit awhile, to soak up the sun and blue skies, or to enjoy the warm breeze pushed ahead of a storm while the god rays beam down from a wind-blown cloud-filled sky.
I loved the graffiti too ... the plaque, the graffiti and the padlocks image to follow seem like conversations to me. Real people live here.
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

The plaque says "Those who stay in the hearts of the living never die. Simo, you will always be with us".
Grazie, Simon. I really appreciate the translation. I recognised the word heart and was curious. It's a beautiful spot to be remembered.
