This lonely image of a diner sitting at a table all on her own was waiting to be captured. It was certainly one to pull at my own heart strings, thinking about how my wife would cope, If I wasn't to get any better and simply fade away. I was going to name the piece 'A sad reflection' , because I thought at the time that that would sum the image up more poignantly.

A huge thank you goes out too all you such wonderful people who have over the last past days viewed, commented and voted on my images over the last three days. And furthermore sending for me their best wishes and personal messages. After yesterdays injections, although very stiff, I feel a lot better in myself.
Thank you to you all.
Highest regards Nathan
Glad to hear there has been some improvement, Nathan.
Regards
Bill
Cafe Riveria - chips with everything!
Well captured Nathan.

Good to hear that you are feeling a little better - but better is a relative word 
.
Now I know this can be viewed as a sad image, but its a half full cup or half empty cup picture for me - you see I actually like nothing better if I go to town, than to quietly eat my lunch on my own somewhere - very indulgent and very peaceful
Helen
Very thought provoking image, well spotted and captured.

Quote: Glad you are feeling better mate, If i could only get you on a plane, the Australian life would make anyone feel better, especialy with so much to photograph here. Plus the Roo steaks are wonderful... Keep your pecker up mate...
Oh good pic by the way 
One of the best wishes you could send to a person you like.
Well Nathan, I sincerely hope you are on the mend, I don't really know what you are suffering from but it doesn't sound good.
A friend of ours is a vegetable after a bad stroke, his partner is confined to 24 hours home care ... I have the highest esteem for her, because I couldn't do it. I went through a time of a lot of care and the wore me out completely. Slept about 4 hours/night and was useless at work. And you picture makes me think very much of Pat mentioned before, she considers herself extremely lucky if she can go out at all.
In the words of the Monty Python song 'Always look on the bright side of life'. Good to hear that you are feeling the benefit of the treatment Nathan.
A good piece of street photography, but I suppose that we never what is going on in the life of strangers, so draw our own conclusions.

Glad to hear that the injections have worked. I'd also recommend to keep the nerves loose and try to do what you like doing most. I think it could even help you better not to occupy your mind with things that would put you in distress. Everything depends on nerve system and it's the best medicine to try to feel good, as I was told by a doctor. Great candid shot!
Thanks to you all in the world of EPZ, I say world, because it is completely different too the one that I live in from day to today. However I you all so kindly remind me off that I must look on the bright side of life, and whatever hand I am dealt, then I must play it fair and square, and my darling wife will never be on her own.
Fondest regards, and may I take this time just to say before I sign off for the time being, I regard you all as friends.
Nathan
Glad to hear yesterday went Well Nathan!!!
Image is quite sad..I always think this when saeeing this kind of image.
Gareth
Great candid Nathan
People look so lonely when eating alone.
I think she is enjoying her meal.
Good to hear you’re feeling a little better
David
A very thought provoking candid Nathan, this one is definitely open to interpretation and has provoked some interesting responses from the epzers'
