People Watching at Land's End
Never be afraid to sit awhile and think. ~Lorraine Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun
By all means use sometimes to be alone. Salute thyself; see what thy soul doth wear. ~George Herbert
The great omission in American life is solitude; not loneliness, for this is an alienation that thrives most in the midst of crowds, but that zone of time and space, free from the outside pressures, which is the incubator of the spirit. ~Marya Mannes
Shots from Land's End, September 2009.
I don't know if a lot of people are like me, but I treasure my alone times. It is when I'm alone that I can think, hear myself and sometimes I'm at my happiest.
ReplyDeleteditto for me kayni
ReplyDeletei had pictures like this from nz. sigh i miss that country.
ReplyDeleteWonderful places to see, and really nice just to sit and watch, be alone without being lonely.
ReplyDeleteHere's one echoing Kayni's comment. I used to spend some ME-time at Bagasbas beach (sa Pinas)....hay sobrang miss ko na yang mga tulad ng ganyan na pagkakataon.
ReplyDeleteRe: there were no people around at Al Sarooj bridge...i snapped those photos at the time of Salat al maghrib (sunset prayer for Muslims).
Cool street shots ! Different moods !
ReplyDeleteCool series and lovely blues.
ReplyDeletei wouldn't mind being alone there too with all the water around me. :) i'm so into my "me" time :D
ReplyDeletevery scenic shots p.c.
ReplyDeleteI can almost hear the quietness in these fotos, most esp the last one. ^-^
I can see that's the right place to think. A nice photo of quiet souls.

A fine and very useful theme to your series of shots today. Well done.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful sequence, Maria. Pleasant views for relaxation and meditation indeed.
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful place to be alone with one's self. Hiking is where I find my best solitude.
ReplyDeleteIt is so gorgeous out there. I take a jaunt out there every time I want to be alone and just enjoy my home. Gorgeous shots.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said or shown it better myself, Maria!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly the thing I like doing from time to time, like today. The sun, the blue ocean, and the view of the bay are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteisa ka ba sa nakaupo duon? like the photos so calming.
