A quiet town where life gives in
Here am I just wondering

Nightporters slip away

Like living a dream with retinas open and shut respectively. The breakthrough is near...
Cheers Sharon.

The real night porters appear at 3:00 am : ]

@ordinaryimages: ...well, that's way past my bedtime, so I improvise :) Cheers, Jerry!
This is a pleasure to view...I so enjoy the 'dark side-light side' aspect of your composition.
Love the misty look and the light flare !!!
16 Dec 2009 7:20am
Oh this is just magnificent!!!!! Bravo!!!
16 Dec 2009 7:38am
Yet another creative and beautiful photo. Sharon, I am taking a break until the New Year, so wish you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season. Take care, and see you again in 2010.

Very very fantastic atmosphere ... a ghost dreaming
16 Dec 2009 9:11am
Beautiful foggy atmosphere ... spectral shapes floating in a beautiful effect!
16 Dec 2009 9:27am
I'm not a fan of "Wow-comments" but... Wow-wow ! ;) Sorry, it came out of my mouth when your photo appeared. Just love it ! The light is........... No words. The Light just IS.
I feel..... good ;) Between a dream and a fear, the dark on the left (past), the bright light on the right. And the fear slowly fades away with the beauty of this slow shutter speed. Immense bravo, my dear Sh*

one more mystic moment in a photograph by you. nicely done!
16 Dec 2009 10:40am
Is this your personal army? It seems that a revolution starts far away from my homeland :D ....
16 Dec 2009 11:39am
Interesting image. I like the figures of the ghostly long tall men.
16 Dec 2009 12:38pm
man, totally dig the mysterious mood of this shot you have here.. excellent work! :)
16 Dec 2009 1:30pm
Very mysterious through the fog.
16 Dec 2009 2:35pm
so ethereal BC!!! this is straight out of an X Files movie -- one part mysterious, another part bone-chilling! close encounters of a different kind!! bravo!!
16 Dec 2009 2:37pm
Good introduction to your comment and wonderful picture!
16 Dec 2009 3:27pm
i like the mood you have created here. the fog at night, almost spooky.
16 Dec 2009 3:38pm
This one reminds me of a Haiku poem. Unfortunately I only have it in Swedish so it won´t make much sense.
Lovely image!
16 Dec 2009 4:05pm
Magnificent atmosphere of mist! These silhouettes are very impressive! Excellent picture!
16 Dec 2009 4:33pm
Yes, great capture of the mood! I have a somewhat similar mood here with altogether different elements; dust instead of fog, sunrise instead of streetlights, Namib desert instead of city life...
16 Dec 2009 4:46pm
chillingly good. you really created a brilliant atmosphere.
16 Dec 2009 4:54pm
Until their silhouettes disappear, into the misty night... swallowed...
16 Dec 2009 6:58pm
Stirring and a bit melancholy - pure poetry & beauty !!!
16 Dec 2009 7:45pm
Oh wow, I am in love with this. The light is just right to show off those ghostly figures.

"In a castle dark or a fortress strong / With chains upon my feet / You know that ghost is me / And I will never be set free / As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see" (Gordon Lightfoot)
Hynpotizing, blurry & beautiful. So full of atmosphere that I can't escape. What a brilliant composition & great photograph, Sharon! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Soberbia, misteriosa!!! Sombras que pasean en la noche arropados por la niebla. Me gusta el resultado de esta foto. ENhorabuena !!
Saludos
16 Dec 2009 11:13pm
An eerie apocalyptic mood you have created here. What a stunner!
16 Dec 2009 11:23pm
night porters walking, i hope, away from you, for otherwise they are liable to transport you to a nether world of all light, or all darkness, madness with nothing to mark the way back home.
17 Dec 2009 12:45am
It is the day of my favorite pictures! It is absolutely superb. These figures slightly blurry with these bright lights and trees frightening. Everything there is to create an atmosphere I like. 5 stars my dear.
17 Dec 2009 12:49am
you are so good at mood! i love how this one moves from dark to light. and those tree shapes are so wonderful.
17 Dec 2009 2:47am
Dig the atmosphere in this shot... wonderful and dark.
17 Dec 2009 3:48am
I'm pretty sure those tall shadowy beings are visitors from another planet. You did really well capturing them without being captured! Love the foggy moodiness. Brilliant work as always.

Les fantômes de Vancouver, j'aime beaucoup ces lumières qui semblent vouloir absorber ces quatre fantômes... J'aime aussi ces géants arbres en chevelure noire.
Une forte scène de nuit
17 Dec 2009 4:30am
I don't know what is going on in your brain but is sure gives us great photos.
17 Dec 2009 5:49am
oooh what a skeery pic, like out of a horror movie!!! well done!!!
17 Dec 2009 8:39am
What a strange image- the mood, the light, the shadows- both beautiful and scaring. It´s like the dark figures cast bright shadows in the light.
17 Dec 2009 2:26pm
Spooky. I like the dark with the distorted bright background lights.
17 Dec 2009 4:23pm
Very mysterious feel to this image and I like the feeling with the images - kind of eerie!
17 Dec 2009 6:00pm
Kind of eerie feeling. Excellent capture.
17 Dec 2009 11:42pm
Fabulous eerie mood, love the way you use light and darkness in your compositions. Excellent work as usual.
18 Dec 2009 2:21am
Evokes so much deep seated emotions (as per usual) that are so easily glossed over. Great work Sharon.
18 Dec 2009 3:15am
@matt sutton: Thanks Matt, that means a lot to me :)
a very bluechameleon like shot! mysterious and captivating! another beautiful piece of artwork!
18 Dec 2009 4:24am
These are images that talks to me in an abstract way about the past, about the lonely nights of a not lived past.
18 Dec 2009 6:43am
disturbing... strange.... superb image and atmosphere... great work.
18 Dec 2009 2:29pm
Spooky!!! I like the mood. Gorgeous lighting.
18 Dec 2009 6:50pm
An emotion filled captured, Sharon. Very ethereal. I don't know how you do it, but you do it so well. =)

a georgious shot ,i like the athmosphere !
kiss !!
18 Dec 2009 9:29pm
Ah, David Sylvian.... I just love his work. I now have 'World Citizen' and 'I Surrender' flowing through my mind....
What a photograph! The atmosphere created is exceptionally eerie and beautiful all at once. A dream or a nightmare, it could almost fall either way as I walk along. You are the mistress of atmospheric ambiance.
19 Dec 2009 1:35am
I love this atmosphere between light and darkness, dream and nightmare... No fear at all, they are four walking together and light looks like a warm fire all along the way.
19 Dec 2009 2:41am
J'aime bien ce que dégage ta photo ! Bonne journée.
JP
19 Dec 2009 8:35am
what a moody image, love the fog all-around on this one!
20 Dec 2009 6:34am
love the mood and tone of this image! Fantastic Composition
20 Dec 2009 3:32pm
Souls coming out of the fog, I am digging it!
21 Dec 2009 5:53pm
Don't know what to say my friend... I'm absolutely stunned! Such brilliant and impeccable use of the blur to preserve and convey that special atmosphere! An instant favourite!:-)
22 Dec 2009 3:57pm
There is something that feels very rushed in this photo. Obviously the hand-held aspects, but the whole composition gives the impression of a photo quickly snapped by a photographer who didn't stop, but moved on.

...toward teh light they go
only to be blinded by the light...
3 Jan 2010 11:48am
Love your work! Dark and moody and full of feeling.
