Oh, I see what you mean now, Ian! It has only be the presence of just a few people/objects there, that was important to me, but now I understand how you see it. That expanding cluster... didn't realize that before.
Thanks a lot,
Nick

Hi Andre!
Well, absolutely the same happens to me, when I see such things. That mountain will be still there - perhaps a bit higher or a bit lower, perhaps one summit will look a bit different - but it will still be standing there. As about the city... in 10000 years who will know that it ever existed!
Such things do always cause similar thoughts to me. Perhaps this is also why such landscapes and seascapes cause such a silent, almost contemplative peace to the spectator? Because we can be sure that there are also things that stay there despite our own speed and run? They convey some kind of.. I don't know how to name it. Much like seeing that there are also a world that has what we lack most, namely time. Or what are we with our 70, 80, perhaps 100 expected years of lifetime in front of such things? They must be looking to us just as we look to 24h-flies! ;-)
Cheers,
Nick

The title does match, I guess the jeep will spoil the emptiness in a second. That cluster left is expanding. I am waiting for the noise of the engine as it passes.

Thank you so much, Gustavo! I am quite surprised to hear that you say much the same like Visar said - I guess that my addiction to wide angles is generating much of that look into "deep space". Indeed, as I anready said this is developing to my most favorite kind of photography.
Cheers,
Nick

Many many thanks for the comment, Ian!
You mean that I should have more people "arriving" - coming into frame? It's an interesting thought for a better match to the title, which I didn't think about. I was only looking for some persons and cars, but not as many since life is just about to return into the streets. Some more of them, but not as many to substantially disturb the leading lines?
Many thanks again,
Nick

Thanks a lot, Visar! I am especially glad if I procceed on getting a "typical" look on my images. *If* it is this way, then it is so also because of my preference for wider angles and "deeper" perspectives. They seem to generate that "plenty of space" which I must be very addicted to.
Of all kinds of photography this has the strongest impact in my mind. I would dare say that many times I consider the scene to be more important than the actors - much like the song seems to me more important than the solo of the guitarist.
Many thanks again, and here's to you!
Nick

Hi Nick,
I can't help thinking this because of the mountain in the background. If you had a camera in the same spot 10,000 years ago, what would the scene be like. What will it be like 10,000 years from now? I imagine only the mountain will be constant.
I have no idea why that thought came into my head. Sometimes I think the same thing about some of my landscapes.
Andre

An interesting street scene with the backdrop of the mountains, Nick!

Nice perspective lines.
Hmmm the title has truth, and (almost) everyone in this frame is leaving! :)

and this shot has that feeling of that 'human curse' of onward motion and it presents it well from the perspective taken... all the elements are well seen and cannot be better presented, a fresh day, with lots of life on it.
the composition- is great, typically yours Nick,
cheers,
v.
