Truly a mystery. What is lurking in the fog ? perhaps the wolf again :) Love the composition and of course the tones are wonderful.

A sentence that most of the time is really true. I like very much this foggy and deep scene, and the symbolism that the citation of Thoreau gives to it. Very good.

Thoreau speaks to the deepest part me. Beautiful composition and tonalities. Why do I breathe a sigh of relief seeing you back in B&W?? I think that your B&Ws touch a deeper part of me.

Fascinating image. It feels like the fencing might actually be a maze with endless layers hidden in the fog.

You keep impressing me with your fog shots! Normally, this is the time I spend in bed being a lazy bum! Very nice and moody tones!

Love the mood here, and the quote (once again) fits so well. The beautiful dark hair of Mother Nature in the foggy wind of Solitude sing a melancholic song I can hear from Paris..............

The fog brings about an almost axfisiante sensation. Perfect black and white.

I'm with HDT on that one, and what a glorious photo, could it be raining? per chance, to hope...to dream ;)

The quote fits the image well. Misty fog, bare trees, it does give a sense of solitude. I like the complexity of the tree as well. Nice image.

I love the mistery mood created by fog. In your case, I wonder what lies over that gate, hidden in this fog. Marveillous mood.

The trees are sparkling with droplets I think. But a peace and quiet reigns. A most wonderful image.

What a unique and mysterious mood you've captured and conveyed... Hmm must admit that I do enjoy being a "lone wolf" (as long as shooting is concerned).:-)

Very good aesthetically.

A so simple construction, but where all complexities of interaction and evolution are present. To the trees with the definition so varied by their descriptions which finally meet, are opposed these staircases geometrically drawing which by distinct plans stop us. I like much the quoted words ;)

beautifully framed. the space between the branches works so well with the stairwell railing.

Terrifically grim shot. I like the shroud of fog ahead...you can almost see what's there but not quite.

Ah that quote...so true and so fitting for this image! Its exudes the ambience of solitude perfectly!

Slightly mysterious with all the swirling fog, but it's also a powerful image, perfection.

... we are sliding out of sight in this shot.
I like the way you wrap us up in stories using only minimal suggestion.
