Phantom faces at the window Phantom shadows on the floor Empty chairs at empty tables Where my friends will meet no more `Songwriters: L. David Lewis / Kim Williams / Ed Hill
CN B79191-31 rolls northward with 192 empty potash cars. CN 3912 (ES44AC) and 2441 (C40-8M) have make one last appearance in full sun before the train is concealed in long shadows.
Form is no other than emptiness, emptiness no other than form.
Form is exactly emptiness, emptiness exactly form.
Sensation, conception, discrimination, awareness are likewise like this.

Drown, drown
Sailors run aground
In a seachange nothing is safe
Strange waves
Push us every way
In a stolen boat well float away
Little one
Hold on
All of the dreams are wasting

A final image taken during my brief visit to Starý Kolín in September 2023 where ČD Cargo 363 049 was hauling CDC Freight 66366 the Innofreight Sev.en branded empty coal containers returning from Řečany nad Labem to Počerady.
Thanks to the FMi member who kindly confirmed the identity of this and other freight workings seen.

I took this shot about two months ago when the whole Alameda county started to enforce shelter-in-place. We could walk outside but must be within our neighborhood. The streets were literally empty just like this. I was probably the only one out there crazy enough to shoot with a film camera. But man, I do like empty streets.

With all that's happening here, with whom
does the smile remain empty?
And who turns their back to me?
Who carries on calmly, without expression
or turns their back to me?
On whom can I rely?
Sourire Vide
Avec tout ce qui se passe ici, chez qui
le sourire reste-t-il vide ?
Et qui me tourne le dos ?
Qui continue tranquillement, sans expression
ou me tourne le dos ?
En qui puis-je avoir confiance ?
We didn’t go to many museums in Japan, but the Hiroshima Museum of Art was on our list, and it didn’t disappoint. The museum had many famous Western paintings, but also Western-style Japanese painting, which I found very impressive myself. And the cherry on top was the Finnish lifestyle special exhibition!
Empty shops are a common sight on UK High Streets, but many vacancies are relatively short lived - the shops are soon in use again although in these difficult times, the new business might be short lived.
This collections portrays retail outlets that have been empty on a long-term basis. In some instances for many years. At some time, all these shops have housed thriving businesses. Yet now, for some reason, they are empty and in some instances falling into a state of disrepair and dilapidation.
Each shop has its own story to tell. Some are completely empty, others seem to have stopped trading suddenly and appear like the Marie-Celeste, still with stock in the windows. In many cases, we can tell easily from the faded signage what business was last operated from the shop. Others are a complete mystery with faded blinds or shutters and all signs removed.
"There is knowledge of the consciousness. It sees through itself, peaceful and empty between the walls, freed from the man who inhabited it; monsterous because empty."

I'm a big fan of minimalism and/or a sense of lonliness in photographs, whether it's a person or an object. From my preliminary testing of this photo, most people didn't really like it. They said it was unfinished, or half a photo. It looks too empty. You know what though, I like it. I like the idea that you're not too sure what's what's going on or where exactly you are.
I was walking up towards the spot where I knew the sunset would look best, and I saw this tree/bush/stick all on it's own on the cliff edge. In fact, the sunset shot, beautiful as it is, also has a sense of lonliness.
This photo was a single exposure, cropped and converted to cyanotype. I tried cropping it in all manner of ways and adding different treatments, but I always ended up back at this one.
I hope you like it, but if you don't, like most people, that's ok too. If you are one of the rare few who think it's good, let me know by all means.
Looks more lonely on black, especially if you stare at it for a while. (Press L)

I lost three of my dearest friends within a single year. Each of these losses was preceded by a long, draining and ultimately hopeless battle. The memories of them become inexorably abstract, overshadowed by daily challenges. The sense of profound emptiness remains.
