Uphill Struggle

An elderly gentleman walks up the slope on a dusting of snow, to the skate park at Arnot Hill Park aka The Duck Park

Almost contre jour, the white sky is quite blown out !

It's a beautiful capture, Phil! I know I'd be winded before the top.

A lovely scene - it-depicts the loneliness and the up hill struggle in old age ! fav!

Beautiful capture, something we have got used to now - solitary walks in the countryside. To be honest I am enjoying them because I have never taken so many pictures in my life with nobody shouting at me because i am falling back in my walks besides the fact that my friends are not camera lovers.

Super wintry shot. Well done to your gentleman for getting his daily exercise

The body language says it all here, great use of silhouetting to bring out the concept.
