Solemn Moment

Posted on 2018-11-02 by Olga

Alarmed by the scene

Solemn moment unfolding

Consequences feared

Angel of darkness hovers

Fateful meeting of many

 

Since I was late in posting for Colleen’s challenge and Halloween has ended,  I decided to reflect on a scary event in life when one have no control over the fateful moment. This photo was taken off my balcony a few months ago. Just to let you know that the pedestrian that was hit by a vehicle ended up with minor injuries.

    Hi Olga. This is definitely a sad and terrifying moment to witness. I’m glad the person hit made it out okay. Your Tanka is spot on. ❤ xo

      Thank-you, Vashti. Now I know, in a small way, what photo-journalists go through. Photographing a horrible scene is very emotional. I’m glad she was okay also.

    It’s a relief the person turned out okay. It must have been a few anxious moments for everyone around.
