I want my paintings to have a light of their own,
they must glow from inside.

"Light makes photography.
Embrace light. Admire it. Love it.
But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth,
and you will know the key to photography."

Outside the arch,
always there seemed another arch.
And beyond the remotest echo,
a silence.

The Roman arch was the foundation of Rome's architectural mastery and massive expanse of building projects across the ancient world. It allowed the Romans to make bigger buildings, longer roads, and better aqueducts. The Roman arch is the ancestor of modern architecture.

The central feature of an arch is the keystone, or the wedge-shaped stone at the very top of the arch. It is the last stone placed during construction, and it locks all the other stones of the arch into position. The keystone bears almost no weight, but is the center of redirecting the weight of the structure down and outwards.
