EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom
What an incredible ambience you have captured here Sharon. Immensely atmospheric, appealing and intriguing to my eyes. It almost feels like the solar eclipse we had several years ago when everyone left work and walked in the streets as the darkness fell during what was normal daylight.
Utterly superb

I remained off the computer for two days and I come back to three wonderful images. This is such a powerful shot. Truly wonderful yet again.

Sharon. This reminds me of an exhibition I went to yesterday of a place in the USA where dust storms are so prevelant. I know your photo is more fog or mist. Great light. If these are night walkers then you are the light watcher. very good

Excellent composition! The numbers create a sense of safety in the midst of darkness. Also warmth and companionship!

A tremendous image. Dark, exhausting. The black and white one positively contributes to create that so particular atmosphere.

Night of the living dead or late night stroll. The silhouettes are excellent and the street lighting is superb.

What a dark and moody picture ! Fog or pollution ? Silhouettes can be so threatening...
23 Feb 2009 11:47am
@zOOm: Thanks Florence. It's fog that you are seeing. Thankfully we don't have pollution problems in my area, being on the ocean.
Andrew from North Carolina, United States
Very captivating shot, nice moody, misty night. The man on the left in the shadow is up to no good I’ll bet, watch him carefully :)

And I thought your photo yesterday was dark. This is brilliant.
The quote you chose is poignant.

I can so easily relate to this danger : the appeal from the darkness, sometimes despite ourselves... Great illustration of the quote, and vice versa... Love not to see that well - so powerful. Take care, and thanks

Not to worry. I can gaze at this beautiful image for a long time. There are lots of people out for a dark and misty night.

photo d'un autre monde, photo gagnée par l'obscur qui pèse comme une chappe sur des personnages qui évoluent dans un monde presque glauque, presque terrifiante photo..
