Images and words no 144 - So Long, Farewell

Adieu




'To learn the magic of light, get up before sunrise ... and watch!'
Ted Grant



*****


Joel - I just wanted to come and say farewell and post once again. I was here 144 themes ago when it all started and wow what a symbolic time to hand over the reins - on the 144th theme. The above quote is you Joel - to me anyway. I remember well all those early morning shots you posted, having gotten up no matter the weather, no matter the temperature because you wanted to share what you saw in that specific light.

    This is really a very beautiful take! The photo makes me think of so many things... very appropriate quote (reading it makes me feel a bit shameful as I'm not an early bird... ah the beauty I've been missing!)
    Thanks for the visit.

    I get to say goodbye to thousands of people every year and this is one of them - a young northerner from England - always sad for me even though I probably do not feel it as much these days but for them always a huge sadness and fear as they leave what was their security, home and friends for a time. I can see this in his posture - he is grieving and scared but putting up such a good front on the other side. The backs of people are always so much more honest than their fronts - their faces.

    Thanks Sue!!!
