the time has gone

The time has gone, the song is over, though I'd something more to say. [Time, The dark side of the moon, Pink Floyd, 1972, @Pink Floyd]

Il peso degli anni... Una vita tutta da raccontare... Saluti, Antonio

This old sad man is spending his time leaning against a small brich fence outside an

old people's home, a hospice. The scene takes place in a sunny April's Sunday in the

late morning. The man was alone.

 

Thanks for your comments and ratings

Bel fermo immagine del tempo che va.. anzi è già andato, ottima immagine e b/n!

Very nice capture of a very sad part of life. David

Beautiful, intense portrait. Ciao.

Senectus ipsa morbus.....

 

I believe that this picture, melancholy apart, reveals the great dignity that this man has ... perfectly and elegantly dressed as if was a special occasion ...

 

Bravo Mauro.

Mauro... Elegance is not a word usually used for a man, especially an elderly one; but this aging gentleman is elegant. You've captured him well..... excellent shot... Mike

 

 

Yes the old age its a illness itself.

Stefano and Michael: you hit the point that is really important to me: this gentleman is intensely elegant. More: he is ready, ready for anybody or anything that could arrive. He look like a person that don't want to be caught unprepared and the sadness I read on his face is strongly connected to his own awareness of what he is going to face. He reminds me the elegance of a strong calm glorious ancient hero.

bella, Mauro.

i have some issues with the processing of his coat but it doesn't really matter in this instance... i like your respectful perspective and the stature you have given him
