Crowded Isolation

I like the sense of isolation I get from this photo. I was driving around the outskirts of town when I saw this lone abandoned deteriorating recliner up against the limbless trunk of a eucalyptus tree with a tire hanging above it like a picture frame. The early morning sunrise was casting a bit of a golden hue onto the chair and tree. There was no movement of any kind. No breeze, no ants, no rabbits, no insects chirping or birds flying around. A complete sense of isolation both visually and auditory. The only thing one could sense, was the pungent fishy smell of canal irrigation water nearby. (This was meant to be Saturdays picture post of the day) Photograph- Taken/Owned by me, Plethos

That's a really great photo and certainly has a sense of isolation, desolation even, about it.

I fully agree with you, not only a sense of isolation, but also a sense of loneliness.
