Towards The Sunset

by on 23 March 2007 in Photos/Graphics

While waiting for the sunset at a monastery in Sydney, Australia, I saw this old man walking past me. It’s not difficult to see the profound poetry of this simple shot I took. The sight of him journeying towards the lovely sunset made me contemplate the many times I thought I had reached a dead end only to be surprised to learn that new doors of opportunities were right there waiting for me to be opened.

    Fr.Bobby,
    What a lovely, moving photo you took with that elderly who was in absolute synchronicity with the rhythm of that day! The beauty of this photo-poem is how it evokes in me the profound human longing to befriend Father Time…It simply moves me to pray! Great work!
