Seeing 2009 (#77)

Today's submission, for your consideration: a trio ponders a vast horizon, each perhaps a prisoner of their own gray thoughts. There may be a grim faith that beyond the impenetrable storm shines a bright future.

This composition echoes separations. The fence enforces a barrier between Man and Nature; the geometry of fence combined with the spacing of the observers suggests distances and barriers between ostensibly intimate relatives; the empty bench reinforces this loneliness, and hints at the situation at the end of a plank . . .
