It reminds me of an Edward Hopper painting, and I see someone else mentioned that too.

They kind of look cool one on top of the other, to tell you the truth.

His hands placed just so and the look on his face begging for interpretation.<br /><br />You're not alone in not knowing what to do in your "down" time. I'm the same way. I wind up visiting libraries and coffee shops and doing a lot of people watching...and eating (not the most useful activity for me, as I've suddenly gained a significant amount of weight). Too much alone time. Some of this time I spend writing to myself, which I usually destroy in the end. But at the time it is a comforting thing to do.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-67585129942849978332019-09-07T16:24:44.920-04:002019-09-07T16:24:44.920-04:00Amazing shots, both of them.

All three appear completely unrelated and unconnected until you see the sky.Sabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09015827501648296977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-84083783362218717802019-09-07T16:03:44.473-04:002019-09-07T16:03:44.473-04:00The first one has an element of mystery to it, in ...The first one has an element of mystery to it, in contrast with the crisp clarity of the photograph. That's why I like it best.<br /><br />As of October 16, I will have been retired for two years. Today while driving home from meeting with a group of friends for breakfast, I had the sense that I am just beginning to learn to live with a modicum of harmony in life as it unfolds with minimal structure and yet filled with purpose and possibility in the midst of increasing challenges. Throughout my life, whenever I was free to use my time in any way I chose I was unable to do the things I thought I would do if I had the time. I found myself unsettled, paralyzed. Not sure what that was about, but I experienced it again and again. It seems that, against my will, all I could do was what was necessary or nothing. Maybe, as someone commented, what I needed to do during those times was rest. I felt free to do anything except rest.<br /><br />Sending love, my friend. May you be engaged, sunlit, free and truly rested in these days before you go forward with the work you love.amhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09212213177713917828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-9644411502967823772019-09-07T14:10:23.379-04:002019-09-07T14:10:23.379-04:00I like the second one better, it gives a better id...I like the second one better, it gives a better idea of their mood. it's a great shot for so many reasons, the seemingly pensive guy inside and the smiling couple outside, the dark interior vs the bright outdoors. a study in contrasts. I wonder what the man inside is thinking. probably something completely mundane and that's just his resting face. ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-28558606092403847802019-09-07T10:58:08.228-04:002019-09-07T10:58:08.228-04:00I LOVE both of these photos so much.

I came to that conclusion for myself just recently, after not getting anything on my To Do list done, on my time off, for several days running. I just needed to do nothing, and now, days later, I feel so much better for it. The trick is not to feel guilty while you're doing it :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-91363242430352338332019-09-06T19:36:58.089-04:002019-09-06T19:36:58.089-04:00That's such a wonderful shot, 37p.That's such a wonderful shot, 37p. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-69650414949945481652019-09-06T18:37:03.939-04:002019-09-06T18:37:03.939-04:00I like both photos.
