Description
I think I've fallen into a philosophical mood. Here is a poem by Theodore Sturgeon that I read many years ago and never forgot:
There is in certain living souls
A quality of loneliness unspeakable,
So great that it must be shared
As company is shared by lesser beings.
Such a loneliness is mine; so know by this
That in immensity
There is one lonelier than you.
Oh, background photo by me taken last week while stompimg around the desert. Fuzzy guy on the mountain is M3 from DAZ Studio.
Many thanks to all for taking your time to view my sometimes manic artistic fumblings. Your comments and observations are not only deeply appreciated but welcome and encouraged - how else is one to learn? Thank you all.

This has a very solitude yet beautiful feel to it! I like that you left the man nude. It gives it a more closer to nature and vulnerable feel. I agree with jocko500..I would love to go on these hikes also. Beautiful country!!! VOTE!!!

I'm so lucky and grateful to have met him and that that loneliness unspeakable...well...it was heard. Excellent expressive artwork!!!!!! keep up the great work!!!!!!!
