Really like this one Trav. Ditto Pops' comments. While I really like the effect given to the light it the distance what really makes this image 'work' for me is the foreground, the dark foliage almost seems to devour the light, the bit of motion blur in the leaves all add mystery to that area and makes me wonder what perils the 'weary' one may have overcome to reach the light.

Trav,

My daughter graduated from college with a double major. She majored in Fine Arts and Philosophy. If you look at her art work there is always a bit of her philosophy side there. It's often the creative spark behind the photo. Very often, when I look at your photographs I get the same sense of a blending of the two. Your titles reinforce this.

Good job!

Thanks, Sharon, I am having fun...which, considering the natural and inevitable troubles of life, I should thank Barry for, shouldn't I? Best Wishes, Traveller

Very nice, Traveller! This is fun, isn't it?! I like how the light she is walking towards is almost not there. This is a very allegoric shot! Good work! ~Sharon
