A bright new working day ahead by

I noticed how this group, on the way from the station into town, were walking directly into the sun one morning on my way to work. The next morning when I got up a little earlier to take the pictures I realised that it was the March equinox. It would be six months before I will get another opportunity like that and it will be gradually darker every morning for us on the way to work for the next three months.

    Great image! I love the light :)
    And the stopsign!
    Wonderful composition :) :)

  • Thanks Mieke. I can’t tell you how long I wondered about converting it to black and white because I thought that the red stop sign in the green trees would become unnoticed.

    Brilliant Capture! I love this type of scene, very athmospheric! Many congrats!

  • Thanks a lot. I like it when I add a picture to a new group or whatever and it gets a “new life” so to speak.
