The silhouettes work so nicely against the reflected light on the water...and we can create our own idea of the path these people may be following.

Beautiful is your light. Hopefully, on our own path, day after day our feet & soul find the right pace ~

Excellent proverb to go along with this captivating photo. We all walk many unqiue paths, the only difference is that some are picked consciously and some aren't.
