“We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.”
... Orson Welles

SOUL AFLAME from The bosom of Mother Nature, United Kingdom

Watching, waiting, predatory eyes that catch the minutia of detail. He could almost be standing upon the mirror to his soul, reflection viewed and contemplation silent, and deep. Perfect composition, and such a study of grace and elegance. Not a thing will distract him until his goal is achieved. Contented in his solitude, focussed, honed. A wonderful shot, Pavan.
