The promenade of life - or is it death?
When I took this shot I was trying to capture the three ages of the subjects - the dog and the bike were a bonus. As indeed was the central position of what for all the world looked like a headstone adorned with bright red flowers.
Thanks for looking.

Something very surreal about this which really does attract me .... I think the fact that the backgound is all sky with no trace of land is hwat does it.
But .... I want to see more both to left and right in a glorious promenade-orama. I know I can't but I want to.
Rob has a fair point about the placement of the boy.
A strange but appealing surreality about this - the fact that the clouds appear to be emanating from a point somewhere below the promenade only adds to the strange attraction of the image.
I agree that it would have been good to have the boy standing clear of the sitting subject, and perhaps to have had the man walking into the frame rather than out of it.
First class Robert, I can see it as a massive poster as people drive in the city, a bit like a Pepsi Cola poster
What a fantastic PF. I had such fun viewing your wonderful photos.
Dark sentiment but thought provoking great photo. Excellent.
But its the light and sky that brings this all together - wonderful capture
It has the look of a Vettriano painting. I don't like Vettriano but I like this. Well done.
Steve
Really like this. Everything is beautifully balanced. Enjoyed a look around at your work
