Saleum Steemians

When My wife is already on her bed, which is rare to see. Before I come over, I decided to join the Italy Community, and my first post will be a contest post. I was rummaging my google photos which shared by @cicisaja, my wife. So glad she's a well-organized one. This is my first entry to this contest. I tried to interpret the meaning of the passing of time. Perhaps I didn't get it wrong.

A few years ago, when we have our photo hunting walk. She was already on Steemit and dragging me around to find some photos for her posts, LOL. Thanks to the timer, so I know it was an afternoon walk.


I remember that cici was using Samsung Note 3, a used phone gifted by my little sister for me but then cici gave me her new phone and took the used one for herself because it had a better camera. There was another mural not far from this one before. But there's nothing left on the wall. Photo taken in March 20th, 2018




Too bad that we didn't get closer to the wall to get a better shot with her Poco X3 GT. Taken in January 2nd, 2025.


Somehow, this mural has been watching us passing by the street hundred times, because Cici and I always took this route if we have our morning, afternoon or night walk and jog around the neighborhood. Now, I made myself a lil bit confused. Whether the mural is not really changed but the coconut tree is. Maybe it got lightning struck sometimes ago, and dying. Anyway, something really changed through the time. The bird lost her bright blue eyes (I should find the artist and ask what kind of paint it was, why the color not changed much?).

When we first took the photo, there was a palm tree and a pile of fallen and dried leaves at the left of the mural. I think it was burned by someone who take care of the environment cleanliness in our neighborhood or maybe the neighborhood watcher did it, who knows? The Palm tree had gone, and new decorative bushes replace it. half of bird's shirt already washed away by the rain and the fire. It has additional spots beside its beak too. We couldn't see the house behind the wall anymore because the trees have been growing taller and lush now.

The passing of time affected the living thing more than the art. That's how we can learn about the past through the wisdom of the previous generation to leave their footprints and we can trace the time in history. We're making history with this contest too. Take your time and captured the moment of its passing.

Until Next Time and Thanks for stopping by

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.

Sepertinya foto ini gak apa2 cint, ada yg lebih keren siyh... Itu dinding sport center, tapi nggak ada anak2 yg lari di situ. Coba nanti pas lewat situ, me coba replikasi sudutnya.

Per la voce è buona. Mi piace il fatto che non sia visibile a prima vista quale sia il cambiamento. Mi ricorda quelle immagini in cui si devono trovare le 10 differenze 😁

Untuk entri itu bagus. Saya suka fakta bahwa tidak terlihat pada pandangan pertama apa perubahannya. Ini mengingatkan saya pada gambar-gambar di mana Anda harus menemukan 10 perbedaan 😁

For the entry it's good. I like the fact it's not visible at first sight what the change is. It reminds me of those pictures where you should find the 10 differences 😁

Yeahh you right... We need to find the 10 difference to see the passing of time (ignoring the timer😁)

Just like our memory, time will washed it away😉

Anehnya, setelah bertahun-tahun lukisan itu tidak berubah dan mengingatkan saya pada lukisan yang pernah saya buat. Setelah bertahun-tahun, anak saya berkata: Kenapa lukisan itu masih ada di sana dan cuaca, hujan, badai, salju, matahari telah merusak segalanya kecuali gambar itu?

Menurut saya, ini adalah entri yang bagus dan sesuai dengan apa yang ditanyakan.

Selamat datang di Italia!

È strano che dopo tutti questi anni il quadro non sia cambiato e mi ricorda un altro che ho disegnato una volta. Dopo molti anni mio figlio mi disse: Come mai è ancora lì e il tempo, la pioggia, la tempesta, la neve, il sole hanno rovinato tutto tranne quel disegno?

Secondo me questa è una grande iscrizione e si adatta a ciò che è stato chiesto.

Benvenuti in Italia!

It is strange that after all those years the painting didn't change which reminds me of one I once drew. After many years my child said: How come it's still there and the weather, rain, storm, snow, sun did ruin everything except that drawing?

If you ask me this is a great entry and it fits to what is asked.

Welcome to Italy!

Terima kasih atas tanggapannya. Yang berubah seiring waktu hanya makhluk hidup, karena ada siklus hidupnya. Sedangkan benda-benda tertentu yang bisa dirawat dan tidak dimakan rayap meski dimakan waktu akan terlihat utuh, padahal usianya berubah.

Sesuatu yang bermulut besar, mampu memakan segalanya dan tak bisa dikuasai oleh manusia hanyalah waktu. Kontes ini memperlihatkan bagaimana kita memahami dan menghargai waktu. Sangat baik untuk menyimpan kenangan akan momentum tertentu. Saya salut pada pencetus idenya🙌

Terima kasih sekali lagi atas sambutan dan rekognisinya. Saya lega karena tidak terpengaruh oleh postingan peserta lainnya saat memilih subyek ini.
