I'm off on a new adventure for a few days, hoping to find some inspiration and a new perspective. I wish you all a great weekend, and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians.

Very evocative shot. You have really created the feeling of emptiness and distance.
It looks completely desolate, yet I know that is a trick of the mind, because these are tables and chairs that are for the purpose of seating MANY people !!! Terrific image.

New adventures, new perspectives & another great composition! Great photograph that got me totally hypnotized. All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Looks dark, wet, and uncertain. But I like the mystery and the emptiness in a way. Maybe beaches and ocean front here in LA is always crowded? Nice shot and happy Canadian Gobble-Gobble Day.

Such a wonderful atmosphere heavy with expectation to this . . as if someone is about to walk on stage left . . makes me feel I want to sit down and start write a screenplay !

As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I
there armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by,
no fife did hum nor battle drum did sound it's dread tatoo
but the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell rang out through the foggy dew ...

I like this expression of foggy mood in faint light.
I can feel the slightly wet atmosphere of this place.

I would sit there and close my eyes to hear the solitude tuning to my peaceful heartbeat. Looking over must have been a quiet feeling too. I love the space here and the mood. Good atmosphere translated in your photograph.
Have some great days Sharon. And Good Perspective too.
Peace.

Lots of mystery in this shot. I like the single light source and the things that might be hidden in the deep shadows only hinted at.

@k@: Thank you so much Karine :) Indeed it was a nice break and nice to get out of familiar surroundings. The time away was not long enough, but isn't that always the way!
Ilan from Israel
I love such moody photos. The single source of light, the sense of fog and the grainy result are very gloomy.
Great!
