"Sweet memory, wafted by the gentle gale,
Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail,
To view the fairy haunts of long-lost hours,
Blest with far greener shades, far fresher flowers."
- Samuel Rogers

Ricordare è come buttarsi in una piscina, ma al contrario: il corpo che esce dall’acqua, prima con i piedi, e ritorna nel trampolino.
(Sir Laurence Olivier)
Touch me. It's so easy to leave me all alone with the memory...

Lovely to see this, even if it is a replica, it instantly reminds you of John Lennon and the Beatles. Captured on the streets of Liverpool.
The Tower of Memories is a mausoleum located at Crown Hill Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, US. The seven story building is 158 feet (48.16 m) tall; its entrance is at 29th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard.
The building was designed with Gothic detailing by Charles A. Smith in 1926. After his firm failed in 1928, the architects William and Arthur Fisher were commissioned to continue the construction. World War II caused further delays to the building's construction. In 1948, the architect John Monroe was hired to complete the building.

I have a vague memory of riding a train pulled by one of these engines (maybe even this one?). I think it was when I was about 5 and my parents divorced. My mother, brother and I moved back to Washington from SoCal to live with my grandparents for a while.

This image is of a bench sitting close to and looking over a pleasant curve in the Bow River, near the town of Canmore, in Alberta, Canada.
There are several such benches in this general area, each positioned to allow repose and support contemplation. But there is something else. Almost all of them feature a small bronze sign bearing a message that typically begins with "In memory of," and then provides the name of an individual, their birth and death dates, and what this environment meant to them, and through them, to others.
A little touch of humanity, warming on a cold winter day.
“You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you.
Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.
Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.
Whenever it rains you will think of her. ” Neil Gaiman

This tiny leather bound album contains the memories of my mother's 80th birthday - photographed and prepared by my very talented sister in law!
Are the bright soft feminine forms in the background just passersby, or an old man's memories? 40 years from now, maybe both.
Addendum Feb 2021: Just saw Fa Ho’s “Remembrance”, which juxtaposes an old man’s pensive face with bokeh woman & child. Same device, have to admit he did it better.
