Sometimes darkness can show you the light.

Let the shadow permeate your mind
And reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer if you dare to find it.

Disturbed, "The Light"

@gazdi Thanks very much :)

[Dixie Goode]

My storytelling mind has a far too happy interpretation of this but I immediately see the hard bitten bitter man melted enough to swing in the snow with a grandchild

[Marnie]

Very powerful image.

[Rachel]

Fantastic! Big fav.

[Maggiemae]

I'm glad you don't have the piercing on your chin like the fellow in the video! I thought we were supposed to forget the past - its gone!

There's drama and grit and pathos in this, and your processing is superb... it may be the best image you've ever posted. Of course, a Fav.
