Rita Crane Photography: Happy New Year 2025 to All!
Dear Flickr friends,
What adventures await us in 2025? What is on the horizon? My wish is that kindness and the human creative imagination continue to thrive in our world; that harmony emerges wherever there is chaos and conflict, and that we do everything we can to protect the web of life that nourishes us all.
I hope especially that Ukraine is victorious and the European nations thrive despite the current aggression along their borders. I hope especially that the European democracies endure and get past the divisiveness and challenges they are facing. I hope Americans wake up and engage more responsibly in our democracy here at home. So many people over centuries have fought and died for the civil and human rights we enjoy. We cannot go back to the old days! Americans, wake up!
On a happier note:
I got lucky on a recent visit to the city. I was able to enjoy a few hours' hiking and take some iPhone shots on what turned out to be a calm, luminous winter afternoon. Love walking along the beautiful paths at Land's End in the Northwest corner of San Francisco. Land's End is a tiny bit of wildness at the edge of this busy city.
Here's info and photos of Land's End and the Sutro Baths, and a map of the area: www.parksconservancy.org/parks/lands-end-how-find-its-hid...
