Tommy, you've become such a pro with these mysterious and strikingly beautiful images.
The viewer feels drawn toward the light, and what lies on the other side. At the same time, there is a "Close Encounters" feeling...do we really WANT to see what/who's there?
Outstanding work! #8265632

Absoluetly outstanding, Tommy. A wonderfully talented composition with the bridge and bench placed for the viewer to sit or wander into the mist. And I appreciate your reference to Van Morrison. #8271879
