It is color that makes this image so poignant, Tim. The delicate dress, the striking scarf, the unfinished paint job behind this woman, underscore her frailty and vulnerability. Even her white hair is echoed by the white portion of the wall behind her. She, meanwhile, takes no notice of either you or her surroundings. She is lost in her own memories as she heads home along a route that has long since become invisible to her.
