winter haiku

The bare limbs of the
trees shiver in the wind and
speak in semaphore

Oh wow! A scene from a film, the opening section with titles over and music playing. The camera moves in, panning from a distance over the snow covered landscape. Gradually we pick out a lone person walking purposefully, as the camera moves in.....
What a wonderful photograph, Sharon. A dreamlike quality in processing and presentation and beautiful contrast of green foliage and stark snow covered trees

Does look like a scene from a film. I am the eyes of a werewolf ":o) Excellent tones in your b&w story.

Doing haïkus with one single picture is great art you invent here ! The thin silhouette crossing that beautiful set is such a magic gift !

Bare limbs,
trees and flesh,
one shivers the other asleep.
Very inspirational scene.

Nice shot. I like the muted color and static nature of the composition. I keep seeing all this snow in photoblogs. It does snow in Texas, but everytime it does it seems like I'm out of town. Haven't seen any for a long time.

Au loin, cette silhouette presque fantôme donne à cette photo des airs de mystérieux mirage ...

Pretty image. The lateral trees fit the photography perfectly. The smoothness of the image provides a romantic character to him.

Wonderful scenery and mood. The bare limbs of the jogger are probably shivering in the wind as well ;)

I love haikus and I always thought that some pictures were haikus to them only ! You succeeded both !

It’s too cold for shorts, wow! The dedication of a runner is honorable, sacrificing warmth for health. Much like the photographer that took this photo in the cold :) Great scene.

How do you balance these very great and moody BWs with equally moody quotes and verses. I hope you are planning to compile these into a book.

Another wonderful emotive dreamlike image... the drama and mood so heightened by the "runner in shorts"! Definitely one of my favs of the day!

The last fool isn´t born yet, running in shorts. What is he thinking. Great shot, I like the misty feeling.

The runner is either far braver or far stupider ( and thats hard) than I am to be out in this cold
Wonderful capture

The slight diffuse glow just adds dimension to the atmosphere of this image... Excellent!
