One of the (many) things that I do love in your work is that you dare ! You're in a quest, looking for new sensations and you find them so beautifully... I do agree so much with Anaïs Nin's quote and your daring illustration**

Great abstract and what a great idea ! Makes lines, blurry lines. It's graphic and abstract both at the same time ! Well done Sharon. I must give a try.

EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom
Life passes by like a blur, as a tired brain not yet fully awake, traces those same steps, the same pathway through the same station. Failing to notice the details all around us, stuck in a void and longing to be on the homeward journey. And horror of horrors, it's only Monday and the same blur will fill our eyes for four more days!
A super shot, Sharon.

Wow, Sharon, you've captured the feeling. (It's been over 11 years since I had a morning commute. Retirement is everything that it is cracked up to be.) Terrific quote; it's absolutely right on.

we see nothing, a huge blur that suggests, the imagination can build images in this whirlwind of illusions .. it flies in B & W in the heart of the dream .. thank you for these moments.

Mike from United States
Wow! I'm imagining the skin on everyone's face pulled all the way back and their lips flapping. That would have to be a fast ride... or you running really fast while taking the picture. I'm not sure.
Imaginative take on the train.

@Mike: What a thought that is!!! Thank you :)
Ilan from Israel
Scary quote you got there. It's like looking on Rorschach stain - The interpretation of this photos tell more about the interpreter than the photographer. Great frame!

I love how this is so recognizable. By all accounts we shouldn't know what it is just by looking but, instinctively, we do. Lots of emotion with that movement, too. Hurried pace. Tedium. Working life!

Awesome...so full of emotion...not sure why I think that but I do.
