Fall sunsets are often lovely in South Carolina. After a stressful election season, tonight's sunset seemed like a celebration of peaceful voting.
Palomino Valley in Washoe County, Nevada. I wonder how long it will be after the election before this election sign is taken dow. There were places with over 20 election signs in a row at some crossroads.
I'm torn between continuing to scream out the frustration and pain, or whether I should just shut up and try to post beautiful pictures. I try to look away and concentrate on my little world. But as I know myself, it will still burst out of me from time to time. Thank you for tolerating my opinion on this election and on the overall development of our world.
This truck had a UAW Kerry sticker on the driver's side and a Bush sticker on the passenger side. Couldn't get close enough to get a clearer picture.
It'll be interesting to see what smart aleck comments show up on this one.
I could tell it was election time in Canada and Ontario.
Had a rafter of 7 turkeys show up in the yard today.
Not sure which political party they represented but they all fed off the corn that was out for the little birds.

A poster encouraging people to vote in Israel’s 2022 General Election. The slogan says “If you don’t wake up, a surprise awaits you in the morning. On 1 November go out to vote for what’s important to you.” A shocked man is in bed next to the smiling features of the leader of Israel’s religious-right, Itamar Ben-Gvir.
This poster is in Nazareth, an almost entirely Arab city, and was presumably aimed at countering what had traditionally been low turnout among Arabs in Israel’s elections. 2022, however, like most recent elections, saw high Arab voter participation, and Ben-Gvir entered government anyway.
Today (sunday) has been Election day here in Sweden and I have been voting and up following the results which are very even, so it is hard to tell what our government will look like.

I was on a brake between assignments with the railroad. There was a roll of film that had a few shots left so I decided to grab the camera and take a walk from Union Station, down Pennsylvania Avenue to the The Ellipse, just out side of the south lawn of The White House. I wanted to document the mood during this important day in our nations capitol.

Sowing the seeds by Tears for Fears
High time, we made a stand
And shook up the views of the common man
The love train rides from coast to coast
DJ's the man we love the most
Could you be, could you be squeaky clean and smash any hope of democracy
As the head line says you're free to choose
There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues yeah, yeah
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
I spy tears in their eyes they look to the skies
For some kind of divine intervention
Food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels?
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of a government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam, yeah, yeah
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
The birds and the bees
My girlfriend and me, in love
Feel the pain
Talk about it
If you're a wanted man
Then shout about it
Open hearts, feel about it
Open minds, think about it
Everyone, read about it
Everyone, scream about it
Everyone (everyone, yeah)
Everyone (everyone) read about it, read about it
Read it in the books, in the crannies and the nooks, there are books to read
Sowing the seeds of love, we're sowing the seeds,
Sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
Sowing the seeds of love
Mister England sowing the seeds of love
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
Time to eat all your words (high time we made a stand and shook up the view of the common man)
Swallow your pride (and the love train rides from coast to coast)
Open your eyes (every minute of every hour)
Open your eyes (I love a sunflower)
Open your eyes (and I believe in love power, love power)
Open your eyes (love power)
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love
Sowing the seeds, an end to need
And the politics of greed
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love (hand in hand), seeds of love (hand in hand), sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
An end to need
The politics of greed
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love, seeds of love, sowing the seeds
Sowing the seeds of love
