66 Strength is...

... getting to accept that sooner or later you are the shadow of what you used to be...

@domenicododaro
I don't think my hubby has accepted this - he is a shadow too at the age of 83!

was just wondering yesterday what happens to guys who build big muscles ...when they get older they must be so flabby lol you dont look too shabby

HA! Too bad I didn't realize I might have just photographed my shadow! That's where I am! You look as though you've got many healthy years ahead of you!

True... O so true!

@maggiemae there's some (subtler, sure!) beauty in shadows!
@taffy thank you very much!
@summerfield too kind of you, friend!
@northy thank you! But... I'd need to explain it to my left forearm muscles!
@kali66 an American photographer made a project, on old bodybuilders... quite surrealistic!
@Weezilou thank you so much! You will always be much, much more than welcome in joining our self portrait themes!
@vignouse as I said above: it's strength! And shadows have a beauty of their own!

Thank you, Dominico! I actually have a few times! I had trouble coming up with a way to depict "strength" which is why I follow to see what others have done!

Such a smart take - the shadow! I'm all too familiar with the shadow :) I love the grit of this Domenico! @domenicododaro

@Weezilou thanks to you, Louise!
@kerosene thank you, Caroline. I think the processing with 'analogue efex' has a good part in this!

Thought provoking
