Truly a mystery. What is lurking in the fog ? perhaps the wolf again :) Love the composition and of course the tones are wonderful.

A sentence that most of the time is really true. I like very much this foggy and deep scene, and the symbolism that the citation of Thoreau gives to it. Very good.

Thoreau speaks to the deepest part me. Beautiful composition and tonalities. Why do I breathe a sigh of relief seeing you back in B&W?? I think that your B&Ws touch a deeper part of me.

Fascinating image. It feels like the fencing might actually be a maze with endless layers hidden in the fog.

You keep impressing me with your fog shots! Normally, this is the time I spend in bed being a lazy bum! Very nice and moody tones!

L'atmosphère est dantesque...glauque...j'adore ce flou...ce noir & blanc...Brava Sharon.

Wonderfull atmosphere, great job, well done!

Love the mood here, and the quote (once again) fits so well. The beautiful dark hair of Mother Nature in the foggy wind of Solitude sing a melancholic song I can hear from Paris..............
20 Jan 2009 8:21am
The fog brings about an almost axfisiante sensation. Perfect black and white.

I love the mood in this image. Great composition.

I'm with HDT on that one, and what a glorious photo, could it be raining? per chance, to hope...to dream ;)

The quote fits the image well. Misty fog, bare trees, it does give a sense of solitude. I like the complexity of the tree as well. Nice image.

Great light. But then again, you are the master of finding the light! a true definition of a photographer.
20 Jan 2009 1:47pm
oh so dreamy, I love the quote that goes with this! perfect

I love the mistery mood created by fog. In your case, I wonder what lies over that gate, hidden in this fog. Marveillous mood.
20 Jan 2009 3:13pm
The trees are sparkling with droplets I think. But a peace and quiet reigns. A most wonderful image.
20 Jan 2009 3:59pm
j'aime cette ambiance....................seul (s) dans la grisaille de nos vies................(quoique !!!) !!!!! face à de telles photos, j'me dis qu'elles sont belles nos vies, pleines de rêves...

What a unique and mysterious mood you've captured and conveyed... Hmm must admit that I do enjoy being a "lone wolf" (as long as shooting is concerned).:-)
20 Jan 2009 5:15pm
Wonderfully mysteriously, romantycznie...The amazing, exquisite painting Bluch...
20 Jan 2009 5:48pm
Very good aesthetically.
Nice citation. How often we feel alone in a crowd.
20 Jan 2009 6:08pm
beautiful misty ambiance melancholic and powerful image !
20 Jan 2009 6:54pm
A so simple construction, but where all complexities of interaction and evolution are present. To the trees with the definition so varied by their descriptions which finally meet, are opposed these staircases geometrically drawing which by distinct plans stop us. I like much the quoted words ;)
20 Jan 2009 8:56pm
beautifully framed. the space between the branches works so well with the stairwell railing.
20 Jan 2009 10:08pm
A mysterious beauty in this capture.
20 Jan 2009 11:03pm
Looks like an uncomfortably cool day...
20 Jan 2009 11:21pm
Terrifically grim shot. I like the shroud of fog ahead...you can almost see what's there but not quite.
20 Jan 2009 11:34pm
Ah that quote...so true and so fitting for this image! Its exudes the ambience of solitude perfectly!
20 Jan 2009 11:54pm
Slightly mysterious with all the swirling fog, but it's also a powerful image, perfection.
21 Jan 2009 12:43am
Great atmosphere, moody and lonesome... I like it :)
21 Jan 2009 1:17am
Another example of what makes you you. This is superb!
21 Jan 2009 1:44am
... we are sliding out of sight in this shot.
I like the way you wrap us up in stories using only minimal suggestion.
21 Jan 2009 4:40am
looks like the snows have been replaced by heavy mists!! beautiful elegance -- amazing, otherworldly solace!!
21 Jan 2009 5:46am
Wow!! Awesome....I guess that sums it all up. Love it :)
21 Jan 2009 6:53pm
So very moody and I like how the light filters into the shot.
