Out of the tunnel?

First day of re-opening after the lockdown. Great caution everywhere, masks, gloves, and social distancing. Hope, however, is our guide on the long and winding road to normal life. Best on black

Wonderful framing, view, reflections and a person adding interest

nicely framed - fav

[Kaylynn]

I love love this picture and the meaning behind it. I also love the reflection - we see what’s behind in the dark tunnel and what’s ahead in the bright light of day. Beautiful analogy.

[Marnie]

I very much like both the photo and the concept behind it. Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors.

[Jane Pittenger]

Potent message. I might clone out the rocks right...they look a bit like a part of person and draw my eye out

[Graeme Stevens]

great composition, love that reflection and your processing is spot on

[Monique]

Great composition

[Domenico Dodaro]

We hope so, we hope so. I agree: our feelings were very close yesterday! How is Marco doing?

[Caterina]

@domenicododaro the next weeks will tell us…Marco is fine, thank you, now that the pressure on the hospital has decreased and his turns in the COVID wards are no longer necessary. Let’s hope that things will continue to improve.

[Caterina]

@kaylynn2150 thank you very much for your detailed comment. I really appreciated it

[Virginia Stapleton]

[Rob Z]

What wonderful composition and framing and reflections - all just marvellous Caterina. I do hope everything works well with your easing of the restrictions - and it must be so good to be able to be out in the open again. :)

[Caterina]

@robz Thank you Rob, for your comment and for your wishes! Yes it's nice to be out, although I must confess that here in the mountains walking alone in the woods was possible, even if not officially permitted. We are now 10 days after the first partial opening and the infections have not increased. Keep fingers crossed!

[Rob Z]

@caterina That's great news Caterina!

[Marloes]

Fav for this great comp! Take care!

[Junko Y]

What a perfect photo for your feelings of the time. You look towards the future, yet the reflection in the puddle shows how clearly the past remains. Hopefulness in the rounded tunnel shape -- this is really wonderful, Caterina.

[Caterina]

@jyokota thank you Junko. You are such a good commentator! Fav

[Junko Y]

@caterina -- one of the things I missed most from these past months is that we would have had time together. YOU are a fabulous responder and you help me so much when I waffle on which photo and how and all that (Often Bill would go through all my photos of the day with me and then select the ones he found most interesting as a viewer because I tend to go with ones that make me feel something when taking or looking at the photo). You are so precise and zing directly to what needs to be done. I'm glad we had that bonus time together in November. The next thing on my calendar is Bologna in April because everything leading up to it has been canceled! My work starts April 2 so I hope to meet with you and Pier prior to that date!
