When I look at this photo, I think of calmness. The sensation of tranquility is almost palpable; the ancient portico breathes it, as does the man's dress.
But the red colours of columns and the cover evoke very different feelings - that of unrest and passion. There is clearly a path to take, a decision to make, and the lonely figure is moving along the pavement with impressive determination.

As I'm looking at this picture, I think: how wonderful it should be to have such vision that carries you along the chosen path adorned with the primary colour of passion - in every sense of the word...
