Night Comes Falling

Donald Cameron

Night Comes Falling

Black is in darkness
where secrets will hide
a passionate grief
an immeasurable sigh
we forget, we forget
and it takes by surprise

White is in light
where truth will be told
stumbling past younger days
until we’re too old
we remember, we remember
and it breaks at the soul

A mystery deepens
where we’re fooled by the sight
of no light in pure dark
and no dark in pure light
yet they mix, yet they mix
come the falling of night

    That water is so still….really stunning image.

  • Donald Cameron replied

    Although it was a fairly still day the water was actually moving, the long exposure gives the effect of it being totally still.

    This is fantastic I go with Christines comment ” Fine Art ” the water is so still it makes you want to walk out onto it , Great Shot, Love it

  • Donald Cameron replied

    As said above the long exposure makes the moving water look completely still in this, which is one of the things I like most about shooting in this way. Thanks a lot.
