And so the term "way" was conceived. I am liking your way in this image. I am hoping someone is holding on to you.

I like the empty slot and the car parked diagonally, a free for all! Diagonal parking makes sense only to those who believe it makes sense to build without adequate parking... lots of room, pack 'em in!
Lovely study, Sharon, looks like a terribly risky shot. I'd be shaking!

What a great vantage point you had...such an exceptional capture. I noticed that empty spot too and found it interesting. I guess it stopped snowing:-)

Great observation point, watching how people 'claim' their space.

Such a neat idea so beautifully executed. The tire and people tracks in the snow are wonderful.

Intriguing photo full of interest. Just love the dry spot from the vehicle that has left the scene.

So well seen. What an interesting b&w composition this makes. (We can always trust you to come up with something a bit different.)

Oh how I love this (again).... The quote (I'll use it maybe today :) and that point of view you always have, this eye I'm so fond of : here, cars (and people inside) are reduced to toys looking for the good direction.... This is moving since we all are (disoriented)... Love how you always talk about us (and I agree with what you answered yesterday about solitude)...
Thanks for all this, Sharon. I always feel better after visiting you*** Sincerly...

Great graphic shot
Those tyre tracks look so fast they're frightening.

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Well done! I like the patterns the tire tracks made in the snow. Nicely spotted. You had a great view.

Tracey from White Hall, United States
You continue to blow my mind with the thoughtfullness in your images. This one is no exception! Who would have thought footprints and tire tracks would tell such a beautiful story?!? Well, obviously you did! That is why you are a master!

Great shot! I love all the lines created by the tyre tracks - almost like a dance!

Thought some of those tracks were cables at first glance. Saw this one highlighted on the community page. It's a nice play of positive and negative space in a flattened space.

Following the path of least resistance, or freezing rain...love it ;)

Superbly observed, Bluechameleon. A very cool image

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
This is awesome, Sharon! The contrast here is fantastic. Looks almost abstract at the first glance...But then... most amazing part is that it is natural ... just right there.... in the snow.... OOOOOHHH, how much I miss the snow! We got a day of rain yesterday, and it was a WOW! Sad! I believe that seasons are so important. They encourage you to adjust, to adopt... It is just mentally healthier... And when it is all the same every day of the year..... Well, let`s say it`s a challenge.

Great point of view from above, showing us excellently the contrast of b/w lines and quarters.

An extra great shot. That would be a great print. Wonderful designs.

Wow!! Love the lines and composition. Almost an abstract :)

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
Oh, what a wonderful record this makes! I keep seeing more little secrets of Time the more closely I look. Dear old Nietzsche would have seen Existentialism personified in this one !

Pixim from Nice, France
I like enormously, there is much presence of what is not there any more. The sight in height makes it possible the reflexion to emerge from this snow which sticks and to thus see the big number of the possibilities in order to release itself some Bravo ;)

A very neat and graphically perfect image, love its poise and balance, and the perspective is awesome.

Great scene - it's like an etch-a-sketch (although with better curves).

JoeB from Brampton, Canada
I do like how you boiled it down to just B&W, very stark Nietzsche would have approved.

Love this shot. Footprints looks like birds' ! ... and wonder what are the prints like dotts left there...?

What a great bird's eye view shot. From this height, it could almost be some sort of winter car play set.

Wow - fantastic shot! Great composition. Looks like a charcoal drawing.

It's my first time I visit your photoblog and I found some fantastic view, particularly this one. Its unique view of a parking lot! Happy New Year!
