A nameless beach at the SE tip of Koh Chang in Thailand. (No messing with colour saturation for this shot, as usual I put a small S-curve in the image and I also added a 35% hardlight layer as the final step.) The title of the image picks up the resonance of this spot on this day for me, the perfect spot to be alone, melancholy but not miserable. Ironically I wasn't alone, nor feeling melancholy but the spot still had that quality for me.

Enjoy Thailand in the Rainy Season.

Mikel.

Whether you was alone or not doesn't matter Mikel. More important is the mood this image create to you and the other viewers. Good image, able to create melancholy indeed.
Regards, Cornelius.

There's always something special in your pictures, something which is the reflection of your most deep desire of peace and calmness.
In fact I recently noticed your main subject is the sea, as if you find on the sea a sort of no time, which I'd define "The no time of the sea" as you pick always some instant of time.

With very few footprints in the sand, there is a mood of being alone in this photo. I agree with Ed, that there is a peaceful calm that resonates from the photo. Thad

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. - James Dent

It is a perfect place to return to alone. Love the dark clouds rolling in. They create a wonderful contrast to the sea. That beach looks to have many places to hole up and explore. Thank you for sharing it.
