I was finishing up one of my walks, back before the arrival of Daylight Savings Time, and it was getting really dark. I saw this person standing on the boat launch ramp at the foot of our street and as I got closer hoped he would not move. I got close enough, and leaned on the railing and held my breath while the camera did a 2 second exposure. I was as still as I could be and the person did not move and I got the shot. Something about looking off in the distance, out over the water that brings on a sense of quiet and a sense of contemplation. I have no idea what the person was thinking, but I know the feeling well to just stand and gaze out over the water.

This photo looks lonely to me. Betsey
It looks so quiet and still. It made me feel like the person was feeling loss even though maybe just enjoying the beauty and peace of the scene. I like the lights on the horizon as well. Trace
A very nice photo capturing a lone person's contemplation and solitude by the water late in the day. Perhaps the bright light on the far shore peaked the person's interest... as it did for me?
What WONDERFUL comments from all of you. You all expressed yourselves so well! Thank you, thank you...
