Don't know. That's why I keep lingering!
Seriously tho', I would say a moody tranquility. And a question as to what is over the horizon.
Growing up, I lived on the southern edge of Loughborough, and myself and a couple of friends would spend a lot of time during those years wondering along the edge of such fields, through local copse, along the towpath of the Grand Union Canal. My 'backyard' wasn't so much the town but local countryside; and that oft-times made me feel unshackled, free from what was a very unhappy childhood. It (whatever 'it' actually is) stays with you, and sometimes there is a recognisable affinity in some of the images posted here (and elsewhere) that taps into this sentiment/feeling.
And that's about the best I can explain it.

thank you for posting your reflections, I feel quite moved, although I did very little. Its strange that one works quite hard to create that feeling in a photograph, and then it comes from an entirely unexpected direction.
Jonathan Van Tam - the one with all the footie metaphors during covid?
Thanks. I had to crop out a bit of my thumb though. For reference, it's the stairs in between floors at the Riverside museum in Glasgow. A fascinating place for anyone interested in transport and history, particularly Clyde-built shipsGreat pic ^
Spot the dickhead....I probably shouldn't have asked, as I'm none the wiser.
