“The Ethiops say that their gods are flat-nosed and black, While the Thracians say that theirs have blue eyes and red hair. Yet if cattle or horses or lions had hands and could draw, And could sculpt like men, then the horses would draw their gods Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own.” ― Xenophanes A collection of shots taken on mobile phone in May 2014 Let the memory vanish Lets imagine there were no red,green,violet,yellow Let the texture speak for its own beauty..
