Looking backward … I cannot see the ancients days. Looking forward … I cannot see ages yet to come. Only heaven and earth have remained, and will remain forever … I am alone, I grieve, I drop tears into the dust. ~Chen Tzu-ang*
Images that speak of solitary … alone … by one’s self evoke feelings of contemplative sadness.

Lovely post Brenda – I especially loved the first image, beautifully created.
Thanks for your comment … “beautifully created” speaks to my photographic soul
A very nice interpretation, Brenda.
Thanks Pat!
Brilliant approach to the challenge and your gallery is fantastic. I really enjoyed your post.
Thank you Sofia!
Strong images which together, well define the idea of being alone.
Thank you for your comment Bronlima
This is a brilliant post on being alone. The mood is excellently expressed in every image. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The first photo is so great, but they all are.
Wow, Brenda great images with one mood in mind.
Thank you Anne for your encouraging words
