*** Mini Challenge #625: Alone, Isolation ***

In an attempt to capture the zeitgeist, lets make the next MC about Isolation. Post any images you have where there is only a single subject in their environment, or you are alone yourself somewhere. I'm looking primarily for images that really capture the feeling of being far away from everyone else.

This MC will end at midnight on Wed April, 8th EST.

I'll post some samples next.

Challenge Rules:

The host gives you a topic and you post up to three images that fit. Remember, it's all about fun, sharing, and learning. Any picture you have taken in person is eligible, regardless of time taken, camera or post-processing used. The host chooses the winners and honourable mentions and posts those in a new thread. The host's decision is final. The winner of this challenge then hosts the next challenge, judges the winner of that one, and so on it goes. The winner of this challenge will have 48 hours to post the next challenge. If that doesn't happen, 2nd place will have 24 hours to do so, then it's up to 3rd place.

Submission Posting Guidelines:

Post each one of your three submissions in its own reply to this post. Give each post a unique Subject, please. It is best to embed an image in its post rather than linking to somewhere else. Feel free to post photos "for exhibition only" if you want to share more than three, or won't be available to host the next challenge. Try to preserve the EXIF please, so we can see which camera, lens, and settings were used.

Comment Posting Guidelines:

Feel free to post comments on the images or ask for comments. Don't hesitate to click on the green "Like" thumb on the top right of the post, so we know which images were most popular. The host can make up his or her own mind without being influenced by that.

Amish boy plowing the field all alone and barefoot.

You can't get much more alone than sitting on a horse drawn "tractor" plowing a field among acres of nothing but nature. I doubt he broke the speed record.

Botanical gardens in Charlotte NC

The lady was looking at the exhibit but the reflection and the light make it look like she is swallowed up by the exhibit and has become a solitary part of it.

There is always something to shoot/snap, you just have to know how to do it and have the right gear.
