"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster…when you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back."

misty and mystic,perfect !!!

What an incredible ambience you have captured here Sharon. Immensely atmospheric, appealing and intriguing to my eyes. It almost feels like the solar eclipse we had several years ago when everyone left work and walked in the streets as the darkness fell during what was normal daylight.
Utterly superb

I remained off the computer for two days and I come back to three wonderful images. This is such a powerful shot. Truly wonderful yet again.
23 Feb 2009 5:21am
Sharon. This reminds me of an exhibition I went to yesterday of a place in the USA where dust storms are so prevelant. I know your photo is more fog or mist. Great light. If these are night walkers then you are the light watcher. very good

Excellent composition! The numbers create a sense of safety in the midst of darkness. Also warmth and companionship!

I wonder where they go? What they do? Who they are with? Such a creative and thought provoking image:-)

Night walkers cool another excellent shot with that light just peeking through !!
23 Feb 2009 8:40am
different.... interesting.... makes me want to come back to this image and reflect.....
23 Feb 2009 9:14am
Just enough detail to see the night time habits of these people
23 Feb 2009 9:15am
A tremendous image. Dark, exhausting. The black and white one positively contributes to create that so particular atmosphere.
Greetings

Night of the living dead or late night stroll. The silhouettes are excellent and the street lighting is superb.
23 Feb 2009 11:33am
What a dark and moody picture ! Fog or pollution ? Silhouettes can be so threatening...
23 Feb 2009 11:47am
@zOOm: Thanks Florence. It's fog that you are seeing. Thankfully we don't have pollution problems in my area, being on the ocean.
Very captivating shot, nice moody, misty night. The man on the left in the shadow is up to no good I’ll bet, watch him carefully :)

It does look a bit scary. Thats a lot of people to be out on such a dreary night. Great shot.
23 Feb 2009 1:04pm
i wasn't scared by the photo until i read that QUOTE!!! the abyss stares back, are you trying to give me a heart attack? lol (nice shot)
23 Feb 2009 1:12pm
Seems like a long time shot from a place long ago.
23 Feb 2009 1:17pm
And I thought your photo yesterday was dark. This is brilliant.
The quote you chose is poignant.
23 Feb 2009 2:22pm
I can so easily relate to this danger : the appeal from the darkness, sometimes despite ourselves... Great illustration of the quote, and vice versa... Love not to see that well - so powerful. Take care, and thanks
23 Feb 2009 3:53pm
love the darkness, the ghostly mood ! excellent shot !
23 Feb 2009 4:05pm
Nice atmosphere - the fog cover is like volcanic ash! Neat.
23 Feb 2009 5:00pm
you are the master of the dark and mystery my friend
23 Feb 2009 5:20pm
Love the mysterious and dark atmosphere!! Great shot!!
23 Feb 2009 5:20pm
Not to worry. I can gaze at this beautiful image for a long time. There are lots of people out for a dark and misty night.
23 Feb 2009 6:25pm
photo d'un autre monde, photo gagnée par l'obscur qui pèse comme une chappe sur des personnages qui évoluent dans un monde presque glauque, presque terrifiante photo..
23 Feb 2009 7:13pm

23 Feb 2009 11:47pm
