an unaccompanied stroll

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.

True words by Mr Wells . . this is a very moody shot full of uncertainty on the many paths of Life . . smooth processing, too.

Alphons from Kaatsheuvel, Netherlands
A very good capture of a lonely athmosphere. The darkness and the modesty of the colour is extra fine.

wow BC!!! so dark and moody -- and spiritually, just totally GORGEOUS -- and so totally true!! life is nothing but an illusion -- a masterfully crafted, possibly deceptive, but wonderfully versatile endless string of possibilities!!! simply a perfect representation of the intangible discourse on this matter!! this is simply CLASSIC!! bravo!! bravo!!

The moment that we are not alone due to love and friendship is not an illusion.Thinking that we have love and friendship when there are none in order not to feel lonely is an delusion.After all,human beings are evolved to be a social creature,the word 'love' and 'friendship' are just used to represent the feelings we have evolved to feel.

The curved lines trailing off out of the picture, the light and the lone figure. Unmistakably your style. Wonderful stuff!

The lighting is fantastic. It trails as if he is walking though a yellow brick road.. Beautiful!
(wishing you a wonderful week-end)

As for me framing is good, the road that if returns towards the past. However, I would have seen well the character at the beginning of the road and this metallic bar which returns us behind bothers me a little. The solitude as the search for reality, yes, indeed the introspection and thus often the solitude is a means to face the illusions, these illusions... Bravo as usual ;)

The quote perfectly matches with your wonderful photo.
Great lighting. The man walking away and the slight curve in the way is just superb.
