Never forget that while we enjoy our daily pleasures, there
are others who have endured and may still be enduring the
agonies of pain, deprivation and imprisonment.
The empty places at the table represent Americans still
missing from each of the five branches of the military.
The table is round to show our everlasting concern for our
missing men and women.
The tablecloth is white symbolizing the purity of their
intentions to respond to their Country's call to arms.
The single red rose in the vase signifies the blood they may
have shed in sacrifice. The rose also reminds us of the
family and friends of our missing comrades who keep faith
while awaiting their return.
The vase is tied with a red ribbon, symbol of our continued
determination to account for our missing.
The slice of lemon on the plate reminds us of their bitter
fate.
The salt sprinkled on the plate reminds us of the countless
fallen tears of families as they wait.
The glass is inverted; they cannot toast with us at this
time.
The chair is empty, They are NOT here.
The candle is reminiscent of the light of hope that lives in
our hearts to illuminate their way home to open arms of a
grateful Nation.
Americans should never forget the men and women who answered
our Nations call to duty.
I had her in a drawer, I don’t know where the rest of her body is. But now she can be posted for the theme of missing/broken pieces. 😀
Beim Spaziergang blieb Danbo zurück, weil er da 'was' gefunden hat. Den Teddy muss wohl jemand verloren haben und so klingt die Vermisstenanzeige eher wie ein Aufruf an den Begleiter (Besitzer klingt so negativ):
Wer seinen Begleiterteddy verloren hat, möge sich melden. Er wurde natürlich gerettet und freut sich auf baldige Heimkehr!
I am so missing the days of sunshine and flowers and butterflies. Hurry up spring!!!

Caressing the marble and stone. Love that was special for one.
Church Island graveyard, Anglesey/Ynys Môn, North Wales.
The second in a small set of images around the theme of loss. Church Island is a small island in the Menai Strait on the shores of Anglesey to which it is attached by a short causeway that is reachable only on foot. The dominant feature of the island is St Tysilio's Church, constructed in the 15th century, and its graveyard. Continuing with the theme of loss, I visited the graveyard looking for a scene which evoked the mood to fit the theme. I again used a B+W 091 deep red filter to darken the sky to nearly black as it was a very sunny day which added drama to the shot.
