    First of all let me thank you for your contribution. As I had the opportunity to see your work beforehand, it was apparent that your ingenuity and sensibility was adding a unusual depth to the photo.
    Should any of you authors wish to change/add/remove anything in the text, please let me know and I'll apply the changes asap.

    My very first impression here (save the worthy exception suggested by Linda) is that of a shared sense of missing, be it referred to the past or to a physical presence.
    Or maybe Mr. Fudd is missing something too...

    Technical remark:
    I apologize to "piacere" as the cut&paste didn't turn out to have the same font as the other contributions (thanks to cinciamogia for pointing it out). I hope the problem is fixed now but let me know if the post isn't displaying correctly.

    @ linda & qualcosa di bello: the pleasure is all mine!!
    I was talking about this post yesterday with a couple of friends who like to read the many facets expressed by the different people.
    I was wondering whether the common ground we express here, albeit with personal nuances, isn't the result of western values and culture, which we all share. It would be interesting to read contributions from, say, India or Japan.
    Similarly we argued it could just be that those who feel inspired by the photo simply share a common approach, regardless of the cultural origin, and probably at some archetypal level.

    thank you all!
    A.

    This picture makes me think of how ephemeral an impact we leave on the world. Like another wave, with the onset of time, our presence too will be forgotten.
