    It’s strange how a feeling of peace washed over me as I look at this. Among my busy family life, solitude is a rare and precious thing…this image reminds me of how I long to escape the crowd sometimes and be by myself!

    Ohh, I know how you feel! I also long for that feeling! Thanks Angela :o)

    Ha! I was looking at doing one of these as well after my son blew all but one off. I’d even planned to call it “Last Man Standing” – all I needed to do was take the shot.

    And then I saw your wonderful shot here and realised that mine would be a waste of time compared to it.

    So thanks for saving me some time, Basia ;o) Really fantastic capture
