Journey's End

Everything ends in new beginnings

i like black but that is only a backdrop to the composition.

i like the way light has fallen on some sections of the 'journey' but that too is only a part.

i like the title 'Journey's End' as much as i like the tagline, 'Everything ends in new beginnings' but those came after the composition.

So i asked myself what made me gasp, in this composition. 

i think it was these:

It is jagged but allows room for smoothness.

The precipice cradles the curve of a valley.

The level proceeds to an ascent and the ascent declines gently into an even path (both sides bridged by a buffer zone), depending on which part of her or his life journey the viewer is traversing at the point of viewing.

In some ways the composition is like a heteronym and a palindrome if such a thing is possible.

Go at it from any side, it is tough and it makes sense, as much sense that is as the randomness of life's journey will allow.

The first thing that comes to mind is that the picture is Bergmanesque. If Bergman's films do not have this image, I have no doubt that he would have produced it at some time, if he had lived. This immediately recalled the end of The Seventh Seal, when all the characters climb laboriously up a distant slope, behind the black-robed figure of Death. That's a kind of new beginning too, I suppose.
