"Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night..."

A great composition with the tree, the fence, the cloud. Love the evocation of night time under a summer sun that the light implies.

Wow. There is absolutely the sense of time in this image. I wonder why. It's the darkness and fence the fact that we're on top of a hill, leading down. Distance, which could also be time. It's just gorgeous.

Your rich blacks are so much your signature, your are the Queen of them, so subtle & soulful, always a delight, they never depress me, on the contrary, they talk of depth. Lines in the sky, beautiful tree but what i love the most are those X X X X X X X X of the fence, as if to precise the importance of the attachment to the feeling shared here. Have a sweet week, Sharon*

I like the dark mood (dark but not sad) and the composition: dark cloud, silhouette of the tree and silhouette of the fence's patterns. Beautiful image :)

Love the darkness to this. This is a great shot and great angle. Perfect in B&W!

Wow, looks almost like some kind of front defence barrier. The dark mood fits perfectly.

Such stunning silhouettes. Wonderful mood you captured/created.

Lots of "X's" in this scene from the fence to the wires. Must be a subtle, "do not enter" sign.

I would say this image is a poem, it talks to our intimate nature. Love the crosses attached to the ground while the other lines are flying freely in the sky. Contrasts are just beautiful.

A fabulous composition and a beautiful mood...deep and brooding...I'd like to walk up along that fence and sit awhile beneath that tree...and watch the sky turn dark...a great image, as expected!

Wonderfully haunting lingering moment you have caught here . . the somber presentation does bode ill for timer restarting any time soon !

Sharon, really like the inclusion of the crossed wires and the quote you picked was perfect!

I like the obstacles, perhaps some kind of primitive fencing system like the Wild West. The way you shot it in bw does make it timeless. Nice shot.

This is amazing. It goes straight to my heart, Sharon. Just like a good, old & lonely blues tune. Mighty, mighty fine! No fence to stop our thinking or moving. Free at last when we are brave enough to cross these boundaries. Great! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

Very nice photo! This reminds me of the famous scene from "Gone with the Wind."
27 Jul 2010 7:27pm
It does, if only for a moment, in this fine image. Love that fence and tree.
27 Jul 2010 10:04pm
fabulous! That fence is really something - all of it great.
28 Jul 2010 1:22am
seeing this makes me think of the land being stitched.. :) very nice capture..

Time does stand still with your wonderful photo, Sharon. It's timeless and classic. Gorgeous light behind the tree. I love how the eye goes first to the light, then follows the fence line and the power lines bring you back to the tree and the light again. Well done, Sharon.

Wonderful composition Sharon! Beautiful lines and soft light.
28 Jul 2010 5:49pm
