I felt free to take the picture of the freedoms on display in this scene.....
There cannot have been many who did not know that it was the 75th anniversary of the D Day landings.
This image was a complete fluke in it's origins,
i had shot 66715 "Valour" on the 6S94 Wembley-Irvine
( Caledonian Paper ) china clay slurry tanks.
Of course the freedom of the press springs to mind.
Any how, i thought to take a departing shot, "power on" after a crew change stop, and on reviewing it, i noticed this scene and cropped it out of the bigger picture.
Into the light. Technically one would need to see the eyes or eye of this bird. I opted for wings of freedom in this black and white.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.

"Freedom Arches
The Citizens of Toronto dedicate these arches to the
millions who struggled including Canadians, to gain
and defend freedom and to the tens of millions who
suffered and died for the lack of it. May all that we do
be worthy of them. Only in freedom can the Human Spirit soar.
Against the human drive for freedom nothing can long succeed. This plaque is mounted on a slab of the Berlin Wall."

A young Amish woman escapes her daily chores temporarily with a short bareback horse ride.
I was driving a back road in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania when I saw this rider in the distance. I pulled over and realized I did not have time to grab the camera in the backseat with a longer lens so I took this shot before she got out of sight. The photo has been cropped so much that it is now too soft to be considered a good photo but I still really liked it. So my answer is to use a texture, and tell you the photo was crystal clear before I artistically used a texture for a visual effect.
Looking at freedom as a personal right: Freedom is the right to work out a personal credo. In a sense, freedom is the right to breathe... the right to enough oxygen for personal life... the right to be enlightened or ignorant. I just received Mary Oliver's new book from my dearest friend, Evelyn - Upstream. On the back jacket cover is a quote that I feel must be Oliver's personal credo:
"Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor. With growth into adulthood, responsibilities claimed me, so many heavy coats. I didn't choose them, I don't fault them, but it took time to reject them. Now in the spring I kneel, I put my face into the packets of violets, the dampness, the freshness, the sense of ever-ness. Something is wrong. I know it, if I don't keep my attention on eternity. May I be the tiniest nail in the house of the universe, tiny but useful. May I stay forever in the stream. May I look down upon the windflower and the bull thistle and the coreopsis, with the greatest respect."
