Photography : Lonely asphalt 6

Have you ever seen a photo, that inspired you to write a verse or two, or three? I saw this and was hit with a sense of immediacy, that I must pen my thoughts.

I have walked down streets like this, shrouded in sunlight and shadows. 
If I could see lonely spirits, they might be suspended here 
- on gossamer strings.
