Awww... :(
That last photo evoked no small twinge of sadness. It’s the layers of meaning inherent in it’s visual representation of the finality of what we all knew had to come. Yup, I’m being totally selfish here, I'm going to really miss my weekly philosophical fix. It’s not just the journey, places, and stunning photographs; but the glimpses of another mortal man’s internal machinery in action. The mix of time+place+challenge and resultant musing, searching and pondering, and then the raw honesty of your simple, honest, transparent style puts the secret spices on what is, without that, already an impressively presented work of art.
Thankyou, Mr AntiHero Sir, for letting us ‘tag along’. Thankyou again for putting in such an incredible amount of hard work polishing your thoughts to share with us, too. As someone who dabbles in the written form myself on occasion, I *know* how much work it takes.
I think I can safely speak for a many/most/all of us and say we’re really looking forward to what comes next! *grin*
