Ships that pass in the night v.2

Copyright ©2008 hiddenstream.blogspot.com

Did some alteration to my previous posting. I decided turn the image into grayscale and layer a golden colour filter on top it. I wasn't happy with the main tall ship (too low resolution) so I've decided to replace it with another stock image.
Stock credit for this posting remains the same as the last one here.

Ships that pass in the night

Copyright ©2008 hiddenstream.blogspot.com

We sat and watched the distant light
Two ships that pass in the night
We both smile and say its alright
We're still here
It's just that we're out of sight
Like those ships that pass in the night

(Lyrics by Barry Manilow)

I'm really shocked today to learn that an acquaintance of mine had passed away due to a cardiovascular event last evening. He was undergoing follow-up in the National Heart Institute. I was halfway thru this when I heard the news. In fact, I just saw his son 2 days ago. He's working in a cafe/bakery while on his school break.

This is a moment of great sorrow. I hope the grieving family will stay strong in this time of tribulation. I shall email this to them real soon.

To the whole family, this one's for you. Listen here

Farewell, my friend.
As for me, this will be another soul searching journey.
