I also enjoyed the quotes, especially the one by Tillich, and your own observations about solitude. <br /><br />My favorite photo in the bunch is the second one. I love the handsome bench, David's contemplative bearing, the shallow depth of field and the monochromatic effect. I think it captures the subject of this post perfectly.<br /><br />I also really like the one of David beneath that beautiful tree, but I never truly feel alone if I have a tree for company. :-)<br /><br />P.S. One of my favorite books is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Celebrating-Time-Alone-Splendid-Solitude/dp/1582700494/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328359397&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow"><i>Celebrating Time Alone: Stories of Splendid Solitude</i></a> by Lionel Fisher. Fellow solitude lovers might also appreciate it, and those who equate solitude with loneliness might gain a new perspective from it).Laloofahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07256023593175821427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569437033576804466.post-4276165838183794552012-02-04T06:29:28.919+00:002012-02-04T06:29:28.919+00:00Thank you :O) David is a photographer too so doesn...Thank you :O) David is a photographer too so doesn't mind being asked to do odd things like look pensive on a bench.

Some moments can only truly enjoyed and experienced wholly during times of complete solitude. <br /><br />Thanks so much for joining us in the Poetic Winter Photo Challenge. I hope you remembered to grab the free texture over at my place! Next week's theme will be Warmth.

Probably because I LOVE my solitude! :) Great photos. I especially am drawn to your second one. Great perspective and DOF. Gives the "feeling" of solitude (NOT lonliness, haha).<br /><br />KathyKmcblackburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06781497299481341005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569437033576804466.post-91400241445978391842012-02-02T22:33:33.914+00:002012-02-02T22:33:33.914+00:00Liz, Ruth.
