The Traveller

"When you travel, you find yourself

Alone in a different way

more attentive now

To the self you bring along."

Thank you!

surprise picture !

... a one of a kind self portrait!

Just a super shot, that can be viewed in many ways. Make up your own story. Best wishes William.

The small figure on that long road gives an impression of vulnerability, yet the step forward adds a sense of courage and determination, much needed attributes for the adventure that is about to begin.

Very well done! 

Alf 

You have travelled so extensively that I imagine you know intimately just how lonely it can be.  You don't have to have someone with you to be 'lonely' either. I imagine some days are very full of surprise and contentment while others are fraught with questions and unknowns.  This composition does snow 'vulnerability' as Alf stated. Excellent work as always Anabela.

Sorry to say but Looks like to me the woman is paste on the picture using photoshop or so. The ratio of the figure and the road just not right.

Brava...as usual, a wonderful job!

Su, thank you!

Carlos, always on the road like the old portuguese explorers :) Thank you!

William, thank you for your kind words! 

Alf, that was I had in mind while editing this image—the vulnerability of a traveller when venturing into vast unknown land. Very helpful comment indeed. Thank you!

Gail, that's it! When a traveller hits the road faces the most extreme feelings. Thank you for your all too kind support!

James, maybe you didn't notice this image is posted within digital alteration category. Thank you for looking.

Maurizio, thank you for your always kind support!

I like this very much!
