The clocks have "sprung" forward, it's finally warming up and light has acquired that wonderful golden quality that comes only in the months just before the summer heat. That's the light I see in this picture. In the past I might have called this an abstract, but after many conversations on the subject I think it's more accurately "a semi-abstract".

Sure, this image is certainly all about pure shape, color and composition, but it's still identifiable as a real place. There's a path. There's a shadow. The illuminated side of the path looks warm, comfortable and inviting, and yet the path curves inexorably into a deep shadow where details are hard to discern and anything might be lurking.

Hm. I think I might just have convinced myself that this one is about life and death... What do you think?
