Sure，I could have asked her，but something prevented me from doing so．She seemed so content in her observation．I didn't want to mess with that．

　Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored．The woman was still there．I decided to take the photo anyway．And now when I look at it，I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting．The landscape，beautiful on its own，somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging（参与）with it．

　This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who"ruined"it，now hangs on a wall in my bedroom．What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured（捕捉）and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall？A bedroom，after all，is a very private space，in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized（使...永存）．In some ways，she lives in my house．

　Perhaps we all live in each others' space．Perhaps this is what photos are for：to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure，for connection，for something that is greater than us．

　That photo is a reminder，a captured moment，an unspoken conversation between two women，separated only by a thin square of glass．
