The way to the light

Alone I sit on the shores of the lake my people have inhabited for centuries... fading... fading away from what is to what was.

The beauty is so close, tangible and nitid... no matter how I try, I'm not able to catch it...

Layers and layers with different opacities, effects and saturations...
Clone stamp... and the usual...

Sometimes we need time alone to gather our thoughts. The loss of a loved one can leave us sad and lonely, but the wonderful memories will never die.
This image is dedicated to Choppy, who's father recently passed away.
May he rest in peace.
