Description
... Is a bit of understatement concerning how I felt. Last year a girl, who was an acquaintance of mine, just a bit younger than me, was murdered here. I actually forgot about it until I rolled into the carpark to find the car park virtually empty and then I glanced at the empty seats in my car. Let's just say I was a bit on edge. It's a very eerie place and it's easy to walk for miles without seeing anyone or any cars.For the first time in ages I was glad to see the rain come, as it gave me an excuse to go home.Β

And yet, it is an image of peace, a fitting tribute to your friend, even if not to the manner of her death.
Blessings,
Steve

It's funny how the mind works. If it weren't for what you know happened there it would seem like a perfectly normal track through the woods. Yes, the darkness of the enclosing trees does instill with it with a slightly creep aura, but then you can say the same for pretty much all woods and forests. Regardless of all that it's a lovely photograph that makes me want to put my hiking boots in and go walking instead of sitting at my computer waiting for my boss to send me more meaningless crap to do!

Indeed. My mind did play a few tricks on me - I was slightly jumpy. Nevertheless, I managed to get a nice photo. It was worth it. Thanks for your kind words!
Oh Derek, are you on DA when you are supposed to be working?! Tut-tut.

I know, shameful isn't it! I work at home permanently now and have my PC on my desk in my office in front of me and my company laptop on a little movable stand behind and I swivel around on my chair whenever I get a phone call or an e-mail on my phone to tell me that someone wants me to do something. I've done my time in offices but I still can't believe that nobody seems to realise how little I have to do these days. Can't wait for retirement; just wish I could afford to pack it in now!

There is an oppressive sense here.Β I thought it might have been just the time of day when you took the photo, or the light, and you mentioned rain; however after reading what you wrote, it makes me wonder if theΒ violence that happened here tainted the atmosphere.Β Like how some buildings or rooms have a different "feel" to them, you know?

I agree, Lea. It looked very gloomy there and I felt it, especially because I used to go on walks with the poor girl here, along with some of her friends. I was surprised about how dark it was as it wasn't very late in the evening. Thanks for the comment

You knew her?Β I missed that I guess.Β How awful.Β I was friends with a woman who was murdered and the strange part is I was supposed to have gone out with her that night that she was killed but I had an emergency situation come up and had to cancel.Β I have often wondered what would have happened if I had not cancelled going out with her.Β Things beyond our control can shape destinies.Β
