green grass and blue skies around a hiking trail with a lone hiker
a solo hike

For this week’s challenge, we were prompted to take a photo with an odd number of subjects. In this picture, I focused on just one. I was taking a hike when I saw this man walking up the hill alone. His figure floating along the bright blue sky created a sense of loneliness and exhaustion. His only company in the image is a telephone pole which dwarfs him, almost making him difficult to spot. As he hikes, he seems to be fading away into nature, just a spec of dust in the wider universe.
