I certainly don't want to turn away from the world of your photograph. This is absolutely stunning! "an occasion to breathe"; it takes my breath away.

Fascinating work. The lighting and London like fog makes it for me. A beautiful composition. If I let my imagine wonder I can think back to Jack The Ripper or the wolf man.

So beautiful. I don't know that I've ever taken a walk in the fog. We don't have fog that often except in the mountains. I find it peaceful. Love the disappearing sidewalk.

Where's Jack the Ripper? What a scary place. The mist, the darkness, you've got it all going here. The composition is great. Love it.

Beautiful how the path turns in that foggy wonderful atmosphere. Either I turn or... I jump - both very inviting. To choose is the key... *Love so much your world*

That black so intense. And as it contrasts with the smoothness of that fog of the bottom.

Alivia from Saint-Etienne, France
l'ombre et le brouillard qui gagnent, les silhouettes fantomatiques des arbres, image sauvage et rude qui crée une atmosphère irréelle et emplie de la magie des contes pour faire peur.. superbe effet ..

Bags of atmosphere. Looks a little ominous for a walk.

As those magnificent trees cross over the footpath and head on down towards the land below for a chat and a bit of exercise, we are left with such a scene of tranquility and calm. Serenly beautiful, and a wonderful observation so superbly presented, Sharon. Like a fairytale scene

There is something about fog and mist that I find very soothing. Lovely capture.

I really love this. A sense that our vision gives us clarity for where we are at any given moment even if we cannot see where our path leads in the future.

Going out of the world means going into ourselves. The world is beyond the fog, the trees are our boundary.

another really breathtaking, yet somewhat mysterious image. Love the composition a lot and the processing as well.

Amazing scene! I like the way you cant see whats over the hill or where the road leads to. Its up to the viewer to imagine whats round the bend.

A walk in the fog is so calming, even a little daring at times. This is a very beautiful image.

I like the sense of the mystery which exists beyond the reach of this photograph, great compelling stuff.

Michael Paulison from United States
This has a really quiet... muffled feeling to it. Like when you are here, you can hear your own heartbeat. I originally thought it was gloomy and spooky, but it really isn't. Very tranquil. Very nice.

John Maslowski from Dallas, PA, United States
The mist and dark contrasts really create the mood here. Excellent capture Sharon. You really know how to compose these moody shots. Love your creations.

I'd say, in order to bear the world, one must only turn towards it on occasion.
