Pensive Zombie

Contemplating the River Styx. Barcelona, 2014

Zombie: A reanimated human corpse.

River Styx: To reach the Underworld, it must be crossed.

What would a zombie do if faced with this barrier? Do zombies get free ferry passes to travel to and fro between Earth and the Underworld at their whim?

Of course, the man in this photograph is not really a zombie…but what might be on his mind, all alone on the pier at dawn? Thoughts of the Underworld, perhaps?

I was just reviewing, sorting, printing, and updating my various portfolios and ran across this. It is one of my favorites from the piers along the Barcelona sea front.
