Never Forgotten

It is sad to contemplate how very much this photograph IS the spirit of a country. War is, unfortunately, an equal opportunity destroyer. This is beautifully captured as we need to always remember those who have given up their ultimate on behalf of others. Great capture as several of the headstones are quite readable & tell a story of their own.

Great capture of a human American moment - the expression & body language make this photograph a quite telling moment. Good eye, great catch.

Endless summer Australia

The golds and reds in this create a beautiful juxtaposition of colours. Very nice - especially like the 3 sharklike fins on the surfboard & the wide expanse of beachland & water.

Not sure if this captures the direct "Spirit of a Country" but it is a beautiful photograph nonetheless - crisp, crunchy, colourful in its own way. Perhaps it connects to the spirit of enduring all kinds of weather without complaint & revelling in the gifts Nature brings us when we least expect it.

This is sadly sometimes only too true. It would be nice if we could change that spirit.

Love the brilliant colours in this presentation of crayons in their unique holders. They are sharp and beautifully layered and some have been favoured & more used. A definite favourite of rainbow Art.

The Fishmonger's Wall

Comment:
The weathered textures & colours on this wall are delightfully diverse, and the shapes of the fishbobbers echo the curved bush as well. The square of the window that you can almost see into echoes the individual shingles of the siding which makes up the building. Masterfully done, a veritable used colours seafood inspired rainbow.
