Cape Cod has lots of scenic nooks and crannies. Like this rail fence, and the tired bicycle resting there. Can you hear it panting?

This is a beautiful shot, so simple yet carries a lot of story. The short depth, old bike, old fence... all very good to look at. Prayer goes out to Bella

Barbara from Florida, United States
A miracle indeed, I actually shed a tear about the news on Bella. It seems we all love Bella.
Strangely I thought of her this evening during my walk. I took an image of a boat named "Luna Bella" (Beautiful Moon) It signafied good news on Bella and also there was a full moon tonight.
Your image is outstanding. Wonderful DOF, a country feel great in B&W.

@Barbara: You are very sweet, a special friend. Thank you Barbara for caring so much. Bella sends a happy doggie tail wag and smile your way tonight. Hope we'll get to see "Luna Bella" one day on Am3, too.

Thanks to all of you for the prayers and for the words of celebration at Bella's good news today. She's still got her heart condition, but the healing of that lesion on her aortic valve "leaf" or patch is a very key and important step toward even further healing, according to what God would will for her. I am praying for that, and ask our friends and loved ones on Am3 keep on praying in that direction for Bella's miracle of heaing to continue.

Excellent! Really well done. The black and white interpretation is beautiful.

So much emotion here, and although the image wants to tell us this bicycle has been abandoned (even left out in the rain) somehow it also contradicts, saying that it won't be long left alone. Beautiful framing. the lines of the fence working so well with the wheels of the bicycle.
