Oh that Edgar Allan Poe...he sums it up doesn't he.
This image is dramatic. I am drawn to the haze at a distance and the handrail on the right. The man seems to have a purpose in his walk. He knows where he is going.

Such mood in this fine image. I know he doesn't look afraid but, this guy is happy to me moving beyond this stretch of street.

The series that you are showing to us is fabulous. These shady, misty streets, with paseantes solitaires. Everything seems left a “police black series”.
Good photography, of course.
Greetings

Grahame from NZ will enjoy the quote for sure ! So do I, with this path & pace of yours, dark life and yet, the light, a true one, is at the end and that's such a relief we understand he can walk that slowly in its direction... Love your vivid screenwriting*

a world that belongs to you, Bluechameleon. Pictures that we recognize among a thousand. You are the lover of shadow and light, long and prospects of the movement of people .. Your world is made of this passage of time which emerges from your photos. J'adore.

"a dream within a dream" - absolutely! Perfect composition and tonalities. You take us deep within that dream.

Thomas @ bipsie from Breda, Netherlands
Really nice! I like the hazyness/blurrieness of the shot and how the sharpness in the corner places you in the shot as the viewer.

William Darhy from France
Yes, very well done ambiance shot as usual. I like the perspective in the one, and the desolation

zOOm from Paris, France
Where is he going, home, office... nowhere... is it early morning, late at night ? I'm lost in space and time but this is the reason why I like your work so much Sharon... I loose every kind of scale here... I escape from everything surrounding me....

Agree...this is beautiful. Shadows give way to light.

EYES WIDE SHUT from United Kingdom
Like a scene from a film. Perhaps we are stalking him, or merely the camera observing as he walks into the eiry mist. Maybe he'll get lucky, maybe he'll get rolled. An undercover cop, a drug deal waiting to happen? Full of atmospheric tension, susepence and intrigue.
Superbly observed, Sharon, a jewel of a photograph in my opinion. First class

Susan from Savannah, United States
Excellent capture...love the perspective and the light and shadows. Has a distinct "noir-ish" fell to it.
