Photographer's Note

“When you have no companion, look to your walking stick”

-Albanian Proverb

Support What we all needs... in each part of our life while walking into it.

When you are KID you need your mother's hand, When you are MAN/WOMAN holding your WIFE/HUSBAND hands, When you are OLD you have to hold your Last friend 'Walking stick' to walk in this world.

A walking stick is a tool used by many people to assist walking. Walking sticks come in many shapes and sizes, even leading some people to collect them.

Dear Senthil

Very interesting and moving PoV.It is not only the walking stick, but also, the feet, slippers and the lungi speak volume about person. "can I afford to cross the yellow line?" the million dollar question pervading the poor and old is well captured. The front foot could have much sharper.

with warm regards

Hello Senthil. The few picture elements are sufficient for the story perfectly. Best text and title. Very beautifully and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Sure, this shot is meaningful.................and some more blurr is what is needed in the toe which is in the foreground.
Of course the yellow strip adds dynamism to your shot.

Take care, Senthil.

Hello friend!
What a great image!
Ít is pure life...There is a story that tells humans begin walking in 4, then 2 to finish in 3... and here they are 2 legs... and the third!! The course of life!!
Very well see and done!
Regards from Madrid.

Hi Senthil,

Sad but true for many elderly. I think you show us a very emotive image here. The few elements combine well to present a reality not far for many of us. Nice diagonals and colours. Your composition is effective to transmit a message. Cheers :-)
