Solitude Quotes:

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.
Albert Einstein
--------------------
The monotony and solitude of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind.
Albert Einstein
--------------------
Solitude is the place of purification.
Martin Buber
------------------
I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
Henry David Thoreau
----------------------------
Language... has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone.
Paul Tillich
---------------
The more powerful and original a mind, the more it will incline towards the religion of solitude.
Aldous Huxley
--------------------
I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people: that each protects the solitude of the other.

On B&W paper,  it did not look so good. That was the mane reason why I would use a toner.

Marvellous photo. Perfect composition. The contrast between the dark sky and the white snow is fantastic. Although it's a rather empty photo, it's so alive that I can feel the cold out there.

MichelLalonde In reply to HelgjeD [2013-12-15 18:34:05 +0000 UTC]

I appreciate your comment, thanks. It should have been rendered with a a blue toner then..... easy in digital, maybe next time.

HelgjeD In reply to MichelLalonde [2013-12-17 09:00:07 +0000 UTC]

My pleasure.

I think there might be a misunderstanding.  With 'empty' , I meant that there's know sign of live (no person or animals or buildings close by)
not the lack of color.  Or do you think it should have more blue to accentuate the cold ? I don't think that's necessary. The B&W gives it that dark, bitter cold feeling.  With blue, it would be more a happy, pleasant winter feeling.

Not to worry, I understood you perfectly and appreciated your view. The sepia tone made the image look like dirty snow IMOO, but it was the craze of the time.

There was a young girl at the bench while I was setting up, I felt much more solitude then.

Dirty snow of not, it's a great photo.

Solitude or loneliness ?
