In the painting of the wanderer, he stresses the idea that solitude combined with nature can be associated with physical and spiritual fulfillment.

Already when I started to make photos, here in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, I received messages that some of the photographs would awake memories to the painting 'Wanderer above the sea of fog' by Caspar David Friedrich. The tone of the painting is questionable since the face of the man is hidden from the viewer. With the light coming from deep inside the ridges making the fog glow, the image of the man and the mountain are intrinsically modeled. The dark green coat the man wears is typical German attire. The mixes of the blues color and pink color across the sky are reverberated with the mountain and ridges in the distance. The palette he employs is brighter than usual. Thus, the man becomes mysterious to the viewers. Friedrich uses the Ruckenfugen technique whereby the man has his back towards the viewers. Having the canvas in an upright position enhances the uprightness of the man in the painting. The artist decided to paint vertically instead of the popular horizontal orientation seen in many portraits. In German, the title is “Wanderer uber dem nebelmeer.” Wanderer in German can be taken to mean either “wanderer” or “hiker.” The translation of its title tends to bring a loss in meaning and a little confusion. Another writer, Gaddis (2004) says that, the wanderer’s position on top of the precipice and in front of the brush of vegetation is contradictory, implying that the individual in the portrait is somehow insignificant compared to the nature around him. This week I have been off in my beach house but chose to hurt my hands and arms on handy man work instead of guitar playing.Another scholarly writer Dembo (2001) also asserted that the wanderer presents a prediction or an allegory for the unknown future.
