5-30-07 – Solitude

…
Not that there aren’t any brilliant shots – there’s an abundance- but they seem to hit closer to desolation,isolation and alienation than solitude….

This week’s theme was more open to interpretation than some themes, and especially with a word like “solitude”, you get people’s connotations and interpretations wrapped up in things even if it isn’t the same as the dictionary definition.

I was actually talking to hubby about that last night- I was kind of intrigued how many people seem to, at least in the photo theme, seem to connect solitued with lonliness. I haven’t gone to count, but it does seem that there’s a pretty even break between “solitude for peace” and “undesired solitude.”

What’s even more interesting about that is that the original description of the theme included the word “lonliness” 😉

You mean it changed, and I never noticed?

I blame sunspots.

sunspots are signs of aging. solar flares are signs you didn’t have your lens hood on.
