what lies behind us
Early morning in Southbourne, Bournemouth, England. The trees along the avenue throw harsh shadows on the footpath where a couple is walking towards the sea.

Dorit this is just spectacular! From the composition to the light and dark shadows, the leading line that draws us in to contemplate that lovely couple at the end of the path, each detail is so amazing and enhanced of course by a
b & w interpretation!
