above and beyond.

There have been many experiences in life which I feel must remain just memory, because trying to repeat the feeling would always fall short of the original experience.  This always leaves us with a longing.

Once again you take a complex concept nd portray in in a stunningly beautiful, deceptively simple image. Your play with color is as usual stunning, with an ethereal quality. The end of the walkway emphasizes the difficulty in recaptureing the memory in dream state.

However the yellow tones at the walkway end seems a little out of place. I think it might have been more effective to go from slightly darker tones at the end of the walk to a brighter yellow near the carnival. As in looking back to a happy time.

Regardless of the above suggestion, your rendering is beautiful, simple and tels a story of a "paradise lost". A masterful job!
