Beautiful silhouettes while still enough detail in the two persons to make it come alive; very nice!

Well, to answer the singer's question and from what I can see here, it seems like they have been through a lot together --it just comes across. I wish I could could look forward to sitting by a body of water like this 20 years down the road, but our world is such a volatile place...
Beautiful moment nicely captured.

Yesss ... great title for this photo, very touching to see this couple enjoying the view without words (I guess!).

They look very comfortable with each other. Close, but not touching, but without distance, too. Great observation and perfect title and song to go with it.

two and a bit years to go and that could be me lol :) Doesn't look too much of a challenge though, does it? Lovely photo - relaxed and peaceful.

Wow, an image that made me stop and think about it a bit. I think when I'm 64, I'll still be collecting cameras and running a photoblog, haha. Very nice shot.

Great shot. You just get a very strong impression that they are happy together. Very nicely composed too.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
We have both a shot about the same theme today... even if the environment and the way of handling this subject are very different.
Lot of emotion in yours with the words of the song...

The song started playing in my head the moment I saw the title, even before I read the lyrics and realized where it's coming from... Isn't it amazing how sometimes people think the same with given such minue clue? :-)
I think sitting on a bench gazing into landscapes/scenary is senior citizens' privilege, although I'm "only" 56 but found myself doing the same from time to time (if the place is right). Sometimes life is a long journey (yet we feel it gone by so fast) and we need to take a break from time to time...
Very touching, Sharon.

Love the sensitivity of your pics, cos' they have balance between the poetic aesthetics and the prosaic reality

Wow. I would have thought this was a holga with it's surreal effect you've achieved. Love the composition, and the how much is said in the silence.

What a great way to pass some time with the one you love. It is great to have someone to grow old with.

They need not worry if they've been together as long as it seems. This is a brilliant image.

When we are already 64 it doesn't look all that poetic.

You break my heart, girl! You capture people and their relationships in a way that always makes me wonder about my future and myself. "Mission accomplished". Great work!
