Road to nowhere or life made off

It is part of house of a be single old woman. Its portrait I showed to you before.

Thanks for sharing. At first I thought the house was abandoned, but then I saw that the window was clean. It looks like the roof might leak. It is sad to think of someone living there all alone.

I think the fact that the picture is in black and white gives it a much more powerful essence than if it was shot in color. It is a very intriguing and unique shot. Thanks for sharing !!

Great capture, a powerful picture to let your imagination wonder. You can see the roof needs mending but the ladder would not support any climbing, cracked and braced the rungs look decayed. I like the "Loneliness" capture and feel a deep compassion for the old lady, thanks for sharing.

I agree. You have to show these as a series, with the old lady and then it will have even more impact.

Good shot, with the title really excellent!

Great image!

I really like the low perspective of the shooter; it makes the building seem taller.
Also all the lines draw me in - horizontal, vertical and angular.

Well done.
