Riding On the Metro

Valentina in the Metro in Paris,
May 2010.

I remember the letter wrinkled in my hand
"I'll love you always" filled my eyes
I remember a night we walked along the Seine
riding on the Metro

— Berlin, "The Metro."

And there are other interesting photos of
Valentina on Flickr.

yes, the incomparable ingrid. from casablanca right? how can people have the past? isn't it really gone forever? 😎 i loved her in that movie especially, but she always had this distant air about her. i suppose that is intriguing. :coffee:

Bergman was distant, perhaps. And vulnerable somehow. Originally posted by I_ArtMan:

The past is gone in one sense — but some do take pleasure or solace in their memories, or feel pain remembering. I think that the past is always a part of us — even if it is like a ghost.IMO.

@ Darko.We were just talking about fashion and culture the other day in the Comments. I think this is pretty typical for her as far as the style she wears. Except for her concert gowns, of course.

I see it. I wish I could get it. :pYes, she seems to be a very natural person. Sort of reminds me of Sandra Bullock or Robert Duvall in that regard. :heart:
