I visited The Magpie Tales weblog today and ran into this wonderful Photograph. It's a mysterious one ... is this human male or female, maybe both or is it a mystical being such as e.g. a mermaid or merman. I can't figure it out. As I look to the hands of this being I surely would say it's a male, but I have read some post of other contributors to The Mag in which it's a female. So what to do?
a neuter image
can't figure it out
it's all humanity
it's all humanity
searching for the truth
finding it
finding it
wasn't easy to do
this is mysterious
this is mysterious
it's a male Venus with his shell
a neuter image

a male venus with his shell...now there is an interesting thought...
A neuter image is no big wonder these days. Gender is at the cross-road. Nicely written, Chev!

One of my first impressions of the photograph ~~ the hands were masculine .....
An interesting take...I never doubted the gender, despite the lack of the face ~
A male Venus...interesting...
I love that you made the prompt mysterious and not what most people perceived. 'All humanity searching for the truth.' So fresh and so different. Thank you for sharing this, Sharon. =D
Oh to meet a male venus! The mysterious is so seriously interesting!
Intriguing! A male Venus statue would be most welcome in my house!
