Absence

This is my entry for #monomad challenge.

A chair near an icy lake in winter, some footprints on the snow, maybe someone has just passed away.
An old woman at the window, it seemed she was waiting for someone or something, who knows?
A bell tower on the hill's edge, with sea of clouds covering houses and roads.

The silence is like a carpet wrapping us.

Today is the Festival of the Dead, when dead people aren't just remembered, but celebrated. I would like to celebrate all them with these pics, that evocate the absence, an absence with a waiting and a presence in it. Like a poet has written: "absence, more acute presence".
