Congrats Anita on your parting Blue, you leave undefeated :). Whatever is the reason for your decision, I hope you can reconsider and come back later. I was a registered user for a while, and then returned.

great image Anita! love the color tone. remindes of a song.."

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
You know
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
That's you
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
Remember laughter?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah...
And it makes me wonder
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all is one and one is all, that's what it is
To be a rock and not to roll, oh yeah
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Thanks. Like I said a couple weeks ago. I’m not disappearing altogether. Just staying a registered user, so only the archives for me.

another stunner from the master ..
this is such a brilliant image ...
totally gave me the goose bumps when i opened it ..
many congratulations on the blue ... :)

i wrote that bit above and had another look before i closed it .
another thing that comes to mind is relevant to the covid restrictions .. especially where i live .. as you know they've extended our lockdown for another four weeks . that'll be three months .
seeing this image brings to mind the alone-ness of so many ppl at this time .. the one solitary person in amongst all the buildings and man-made edifices .. the impersonal feeling those steel structures give me .. intensifies that feeling of alone-ness ..
whether you meant it or not .. what i see .. is irrelevant .. its the sort of image that ppl can look at and take away what is meaningful for them ..
so good Anita .. so good . :)

A little surreal. Nice blend of sharp and blurry details.
