    Lovely, reminds me of Giorgio de Chirico’s Piazza canvas — and that’s a compliment! 🙂

    Haunting. This gave me a very strange eerie feeling. Well done, Rabirius.

    Engaging and while sitting in my own city of ghosts, moving. I only have these ghosts and cyber friends to chat with now. Not a single face beyond my home.
    May you and yours remain well.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you. May you remain will too.
      Yes, here it also is somewhat ghostly now. We can still go out, but only by ourselves. The streets are quiet. Hardly anyone out there.

    This is something I think about often, you’ve done a terrific job of expressing it, rabirius.

    1. rabirius Avatar

    Beautiful artwork.

    Has a prison vibe, too. The ghost is free, whoever she was, bigger than life, hanging around to be alluring.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Yes, you’re right.
      Thank you, Kim.

    Lijkt wel geinspireerd op de “lege” steden , in het kader van maatregelen tegen het coronavirus

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Oorspronkelijk niet. Ik had het idee al eerder, maar nu past het natuurlijk in de tijd dat de meeste steden op spooksteden lijken.

    Knap werk en hopelijk zijn het vriendelijke geesten

      Dank je wel, Marylou.

    sadly how many are feeling now, you captured it well … of this world but not in it!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.
      And I guess that it is far from over and the longer it goes on, the harder it will be for all of us.

      1. calmkate Avatar

        the longer it goes on we will become more used to it and familiarity is comforting 🙂

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Yes, you’re probably right.

          1. calmkate Avatar

            how are you? ok to chat …

          2. rabirius Avatar

            I am. I hope you are as well.

          3. calmkate Avatar

            yep very well but I have much experience of self-isolating so I’m most comfortable with it.

          4. rabirius Avatar

            Well, I can be by myself. But having to possibility to meet with a lot of people, can be quite hard over time.

          5. calmkate Avatar

            yes I found travelling tired me of the constantly changing faces … always good to have a few dear friends around 🙂

          6. rabirius Avatar

            Indeed. 🙂

    Magnificent! This alienating image fits in well with this time of isolation and restraint in social contacts.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you, Jan. I’m glad you like the picture.

  18. Moushmi Radhanpara Avatar

    Splendid! Gave me an absolute eerie feel.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you. I’m glad you like it.

    I don´t know why, but it reminds me on surreal scenes from the movie Cabinet of Dr Caligari….

    1. rabirius Avatar

      That is a great compliment. Thank you.
      The film itself I saw about 20 years ago. I only have a vague memory of the images.

  20. Kirt D Tisdale Avatar

    Well done and very timely!!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you, Kirt.

    I think you need me ghosts. Too many empty windows for a city. I’m pretty sure ghosts congregate just like we do. After all, they’re only human.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      As it is with ghosts, some are invisible. 🙂

  22. kioratash Avatar

    What next? You are missed. 🙂

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, sometimes it takes a while to complete a picture…
      …but something new has just appeared on my site. 🙂

    Esta vez los fantasmas sobrepasan la composición. Salió de lo mejor la foto.

      Muchas gracias, otra vez.

        Con esta cuarentena, uno tiene que recrearse mirando el arte. Y tus fotos ya son puro arte.

        1. rabirius Avatar

          Muchas gracias por tus palabras.

    Not few, but many many will go under. Given the circumstances, this is unavoidable.

  26. Steve Schwartzman Avatar

    A black ghost is a change from tradition.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Well, They can probably come in all colours and sizes. 🙂

    Very chilling, love it!
