when loneliness turns to silence
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 12 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
"Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
that I'd get caught up
when the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
in
this
silence
In this white wave
in this silence
I believe
I can't help this longing
Comfort me"

A wondrous scene, Sharon, beautifully framed and observed. Love the dreaminess of the image and those magnificent tall trees. Superb

Wonderful candid composition. The tones in b&w make him seem so lonely indeed.

Very stark and lack of grey adds to it, is he about to say hello.

Black and white is always the best weather of snow, the topic cold, beautiful atmosphere.

Love the clear light in here : yes, solitude, silence, but nothing dark and threatening here since solitude has also its bright side. He'll find comfort soon, it's "written" in this light (well, that is what I do read :)

A calm, relaxing mood. As usual your B&W speaks volumes.

You create some romantic and simultaneously mysterious images. The central personage gives much force to the photography.
Greetings

wonderful words, Sharon, and quite fitting to the scene; there's something about it, as roenlarre above said, that does beckon the viewer to consider the image for a time. nice balance here

...then one needs someone for comfort. This is a great catch of on human emotion every human being, at least, once goes through.

A lovely misty image and a great title which brings back memories. I remember in my younger days feeling so lonely I would count the days since I had spoken with anyone wondering if I had forgotten how to talk.

I have never been lonely, except in crowds, this, this is very appealing to me ;)

Wonderful composition. However, I must say that seeing the person with his cup of coffee (??) creates in me not loneliness but solitude. I am drawn into the scene and would love to be there alone.

Great mood. Great composition. Alone in the park. Loneliness? Maybe not. when I look at this photo the first thing that ocurres me is silence. Introspection.
Thanks Sharon for another dazzling photo.

I am absolutely certain that you are right. I love this shot, creates a certain mood that someone just wants to be left alone.

Excellent composition, and I dont see lonliness here, I see ample oppurtunity to walk around listening to the wind... relazing. Very nice.
