Pathway
The image titled ‘Pathway’ captures the essence of serenity and peace. It is a B&W minimalistic work of a jetty that stretches out into the water, straight first, then splitting into two distinct paths. The paths are a reminder that, no matter which path we choose, there is beauty to be found along the way.
We must embrace each decision we make, and find the courage to follow our hearts, even if it takes us down a path that is less traveled. This photograph is a reminder of the choices we face in life, and the impact they can have on our journey.
Taken with a Canon R5 with a shutter speed of 190 seconds.
