Love under die Lanterne

Love them or throw the first stone?

I have got a task making a love photo or something similar and since, I do landscape photos, I ended in the history under a lantern and we all know the song Lily Marleen.

I have read Remarque and have read a lot of bibliography from WWI, also a lot of woman’s stories and also prostitutes, where a lot of these woman ended under a lantern since it was there only way to survive.

Maybe Lily Marleen had a lot of men under the fake light from the streetlamp, but there was someone, not a soldier from the barracks, but a pilot.

They rest in their love and embrace under the lantern. The glasshouse behind is what people think about Lily Marleen. Those that is better than them can throw the first stone, but they are so close they will not sense it.

The left side is Lily and there is tulips, a woman in love buy flowers and a naked mannequin for her sexuality – at her present level is her garden hat.

The other side is her mans, there is a biplane in the air and a sunflower climbing toward the sun like a pilot in his plane. A man in love buy red flowers and he have bought a box of red flowers for Marlene, so she can plant them in their garden of Love.
