Hi Marilyn, I've commented on September Walk! earlier, but I felt that the following quote is more appropriate for your image and what it symbolizes.
Sincerely, Fred.
"A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed." - Ansel Adams
The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it. -Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring
This is a wonderful image of the two opposites, light and dark, and encapsulates the emotions of hope and despair yet the overall feeling is one of serenity and soothing with a road ahead that seems to lead towards light.
Hello Marilyn...They say simple photographs are the best...Good composition is essential in photography and you have certainly captured a scene that conveys a
message with emotions...peace and tranquillity.....Well done...All the best...Mick.
