Sometimes we all need a little time to ourselves. Time to mull things over, plan for the future, and just think away from the distractions of others. This man, walking alongside some “hot pots” in Yellowstone National Park, struck me as being deep in thought. He strode along the boardwalk, hands fisted in his pockets, eyes forward. He was physically there, but it seemed is mind was elsewhere.
I love the image of him striding uphill, into the fog, resolutely continuing despite the frigid temperatures. One gets the feeling maybe he just needed some time alone to think about some big decision; time for a little solitude. A slight blurring has given the picture of bit of a “thoughtful” feel and the simple tones draw the viewer’s eye to the texture and depth of the image.
