[Loneliness is a physical pain #4](https://steemit.com/photography/@siavach/loneliness-is-a-physical-pain-4) by @siavach

Our second place winner this week is @siavach. With only 57 followers, this photographer deserves more exposure for producing really nice work. Not just for the SPC, but in general.

I'd like to encourage @siavach to keep up the good work!

Go to his page and take a look.
