Beautifully composed. The bench and railing are so nicely placed in the frame. The misty background increases the sense of solitude. V

Nice scene and great title!
You must be at the top of a holler, whereas ah'm right down in one!

I am so happy to see a photo to go with the Camus quote. That saying sat on my desk in my work office for 27 years.

Not even loves to come and sit, ignoring the cold and the snow?

This is a truly elegant stripey shot. Love it! -v-

Nice shot Karen. It looks a bit like the week we've had. It is always nice (probably because it is so rare) to find pristine snow.
Barry S Moore27-Nov-2008 20:55
Looks very cold. Great work to see these stripes and compose the picture without freezing your fingers.
