There was a star riding through clouds one night
and I said to the star
'Consume me'."
—Virginia Woolf
I'll be taking a bit of a break here for a couple of weeks or so. With a busier than usual work schedule and summer holidays upon me I don't have much time. I will be looking at your photos though...thanks friends and enjoy the rest of your summer :)

Great shot and title from Virginia Woolf. I love the blurring bike beneath the firmly rooted silhouette of the tree and benches. He escapes into the night. Have a great vacation/busy work schedule. :)

This must have been a difficult exposure, that works very well and fits the title wonderfully

I´ve just come back to Am3 after some holiday, just longing for all the good photographies from you and other ...and then you are taking a break.That´s bad timing. :-) Anyway, waiting for something good...
Looking back to your recent post I just love "the good traveller" with that quote and "one" wich is a 5* potography for me. Have a nice time, working and relaxing.

Ah what a marvel you let us with during your break, my dear Sharon - it's an immense b - e - a - u - t - y that hits my eyes & heart the same way : deeply. I love it. There is more than one world in this image, and i love them all, from the soul of the tree to the soul of the man rolling fast to the soul of the rolling too sky. Thanks for sharing this, and courage for all you have to do, plus a sweet summertime anyway. See you whenever you want, no hurry/be happy. Take care, dear*

Most of your photos have common atmosphere. I'm not smart enough to describe the feature, but I know this one has all those features. And I like this one as well as other Bluechameleon's classics. Have nice holidays.

At night, all living creatures become incredible poetic silhouettes.
Have a nice time Sharon. See you sOOn.

a beautiful night mood ! love the motion blur of bycicle and the beautiful tree !
2 Aug 2010 11:28am
Wonderful. I love the cyclist with the blur.
2 Aug 2010 2:06pm
Ghost rider...excellent image. Keep thinking I might see you wandering around with camera in tow sometime this summer. I keep watching..... ;)

A lovely dark mood, beautiful bokeh. It is somber, the same way I feel without your photos on AM3.
I hope you return to us, soon !! :-)

Very ghostly and very cool. I like the sharpness of the tree compared to the blur of the cyclist.
3 Aug 2010 1:01am
Wow. This is so gothic in tone. Very nicely done.
3 Aug 2010 2:16am
This mysterious ambience is inviting! I like very much the running silhouette of the cyclist.
3 Aug 2010 6:20am
une belle composition !!
avec un sublime mouvement !!:)

Beautifully composed dramatic work that starts to tell a story from the moment it loads . . like so much of your work, there is often more substance than content. Magic.

I love the dark mood of this image - full of emotion and mystery.
3 Aug 2010 9:57pm

Interesting composition Sharon, really a fascinating creation, always amazed with the way you use light and shadows to create such dramatic images. Excellent work.

Why does that scene from the "Wizard of Oz" come to mind when I look at this - you know, the one with the witch ridding the bike? I LOVE this photo!!
4 Aug 2010 6:17am
Love the mood you've captured/created. Excellent - as always!

19 Aug 2010 6:40am
I can't stop to consume all of you. All these terrific rides you take me with, Sharon. May it be a bycicle ride, a walk or something else. What a dark & brooding beauty. But I feel no fear. Great composition! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.
