Love, Peace, and unity.
There are more and more displays of prejudice, hatred, and divisiveness every day.
More now than ever before, it's important to show that these three words are what the world needs more of.
Among these, Love is the most important to share with anyone, regardless of who they are, or where they are on life's journey.

Golden Love - Sunset on the Lake
[FotoThing Group]

Choir practice was cancelled so I raced to the lake. This was the sunset right after I arrived.

Colour/B&WTuesday
FotoThing Group

When I saw this I shot a lot of photos to get the mix I was looking for. I was struck by seeing this right after hearing on sat. radio - the Charlie Daniels Band song - "The Came Down to Georgia."

If you are impressed by fiddle/violin playing with a snappy beat and great lyrics telling a 3-minute story - give this a listen.

Earlier ones had some blue but less fire color..... maybe some other time.

ArchitectureSunday
FotoThing Group

I can't compete with all the amazing and historic building architecture in Eurasia, so the easiest photos are ones I frequently see or make special trips to see.

09/11/2000 - 09/11/2024 -- 24 years ago today
Twenty-four years after terrorists proved that no place was immune, on a day that reshaped the world in so many ways - some for the better, and some for the worse:

Americans have held steadfast by two abiding beliefs;
We have sworn to defend our country AND our Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic, AND

We will seek to protect with and for our allies; against terrorists, tyrants, and all that desire to illegally control people and countries around the entire earth.

This was supposed to be for ArchitectureSunday [Fotothing Group] but then life got in the way.

I pass this inaccessible building every month when I run an errand for Christopher, picking up his monthly free figure at Games Workshop (https://www.warhammer.com/en-US/warhammer-40000-getting-started)

Nikon Z62, Nikkor 24-70mm at 32mm, In camera "High Saturation" setting, exp;1/160, f10.0, ISO 250, exposure bias - 0.00 ev

Shot using "Shutter Priority" mode. Because of my hand tremor, I must dictate the minimum speed.

I don't use full manual settings because my camera isn't stupid - in fact, it has two processors. I adjust the ISO and the exposure and rearrange the lighting if needed.

Today is World Photography Day

Post one photo for the world to see.

With each photo shared, we gain more perspective of the world through the lens of someone else. We’re thankful for the opportunity to see pictures of places we’ve never been and learn about the cultures of the children we sponsor!
