time is chasing after all of us

too swift for those who fear,
too long for those who grieve,
too short for those who rejoice,
but for those who love, time is eternity."

Marvelous capture and composition. Love the fog. 5-3.

Those reflections over time and the very moody atmosphere in your grey-toned picture goes to well together. So well that I hardly can see any time chasing here, more of harmony though. Wonderful picture and message.

Love the elongation of the trees and figures. The 'fog' is a super effect with that deep and striking B&W.

the fog in the image almost creates timelessness (if theere is such a word ?)

How subtle are the lights between the trees ! Love that misty quality of your B&W and the slow pace on the path : Time has to be taken as a partner, and getting old, we understand this better : no hurry, no slow-motion, just going smoothly with the Present, as hard or surprising as it can be sometimes. Time is all. Just like Love ;) Have a superb week, dear Sharon (and i also love the trio of benches ready to receive the trio of characters, in case they would like to take... time to pause ;)

Mystery and shades in that foggy way of the park.
A warm greeting

I love the trio of friends in a misty atmosphere, the play of shadows, long silhouettes of trees, long silhouettes of humans in a quiet stroll ! I love your quote !

hope is turning through us, if we have some friends. it is equal, if we stand in a dark and deep wood or if we couldn't see the light - our friends would help us through the night.

beautiful tonal range from soft white to black...actually pretty incredible...love the subject, friends, family, taking a stroll together, sharing their time...our story...and the poem is good and shows the unreal nature of time if the mind can twist it in so many ways...speaking of twists...i wonder if you condensed this image...the figures look somewhat elongated, as do the trees...adios amiga...

This image makes me a bit uneasy....as though someone or something may jump out at these 3 at any time!

very fine composition . . . it like how fragile it seems

Always, no doubt. And so difficult to inverse the chase :)

PS - Canada certainly is getting those home soil golds that have eluded you in the past. Bravo. The Canadians were far and away the best of the ice dancers last night; I'm not the biggest fan of Ice Dancing, but they were breathtaking.

@john4jack: Thanks Jack! We took the gold last night! What a thrill that was :)

A wonderful, moody image. The curving path, trees, fog and people are perfect.

Charles Dastodd from Chicago, United States
incredible shot! this has a sort of nostalgic or sentimental feeling to it, like old friends catching up, or perhaps saying goodbye. terrific misty atmosphere.

Stéphane Thémèze from PlateFormeRonde, United States
Fog , that faithful friend. Feels like a good time. So if it's chasing at the same pace they're going, sounds like it might be a quartet after all. The part I love in your photo is on the right hand side. That tree in the depth , middle of the other quartet. Lovely corner, that where I'm going.
Cheers Sharon.

Times like these, like in the picture above, return to you time and time again, reminding you of the good times gone and better times to look forward to. :) Lovely image.

reminds me of a scripture where Jesus heals a blind man, and the man says people look like trees, and Jesus has to heal him some more :) lovely shot Sharon!!

I like how you stretched this photo on purpose to go with the poem, nice shot.

How wonderfully effective the compression is in this emotive shot . . it forges such a link between the figures and the trees. Very clever stuff . . and those words are fine and true, too.

fabulous picture and the quote is so to the point, so true.
