Using the same exact scene that I uploaded like two days ago but... eh, what the hell. The WW2 builders do it all the time.
And I liked this photo, so, yeah.
Angels of Freedom by OGE Group, Gaston Zahr & Merav Eitan (Germany & Israel )
Five sets of giant, colourful wings invite visitors to come close and interact with the symbolic angels. This installation seeks to remind visitors of their true selves and to always remain connected to loved ones and those who matter.
“The freedom of birds is an insult to me.”
― Cormac McCarthy
I hate envy. It is evil and I truly thank God that I've never envied others in my life BUT I sometimes tend to envy the birds or let say wish I have their capacity to fly high and to fly freely...to swim in the air and to let its power carry me aimlessly. I believe freedom is the most precious gift man can ask God for and though it comes in many kinds and forms, the core remains the same. Still, it is always relative as long as we as we are here on earth.
This is an old photograph that I took last year when I noticed a red batman-shaped kite in the sky.
Sorry but I've been extremely busy over the last couple of days. I'll do my best to catch up.
Honestly wishing you all a very blessed holidays...
Merry Christmas to all of you in advance!
Inspired by Brooke Shaden's incredible work and under her tutelage (love that word), I present my very first entry to Flickr. Olivia Clemens in "Alice's Freedom".

A line of greylag geese flying across the rising sun I could hear them before I could see them luck plays a great part in photography!
When we think about a dream or a wish, we often think about money, health. But what about freedom? Liberty is not less important than health or happiness, just think for a moment, will we be more happy or healthy if we don say what we want, if we don't think what's really happening, if we don't act like we do, if we are not us? Will we enjoy life then? Don't let anybody or anything or yourself turns you into a fictional reality, we're not robots, we are the actions of our thoughts. We are free to be free. So if I could make a wish I would wish I never lost freedom.
"Wait for the rivers to run in the opposite direction in the same way that every free-born man is happy to be locked up within precise limits without the freedom to go where he wants"
I rescued this dragonfly while kayaking this morning, I scooped her out of the water and she stayed on my hand while she dried out .. eventually she flew away... I named her Freedom.
Freedom Crossing Monument is located on the bank of the Niagara River in Lewiston, New York, and honors the courage of fugitive slaves who sought a new life of freedom in Canada, and to the local volunteers who protected and helped them on their journey across the Niagara River. It was dedicated on October 14, 2009.

Today is American Independence Day, aka July 4th, 4th of July. I will not be celebrating it in a traditional way with parades, picnics, or family get-togethers, but I did wake up this morning thinking of my country & what it means to me. I searched my home for a symbolic star & was interested to find only one--the simple star in the wooden nativity scene that I display year-round. For me, my love of country & of God are intertwined & I am most thankful for both. Being a librarian, I couldn't resist doing a little research on star symbolism. Not surprisingly, I found a plethora of information. What caught my imagination was a quote from the nineteenth century minister, Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Harriet Beecher Stow, who wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin"). He said, of the American flag,
"A thoughtful mind when it sees a nation's flag, sees not the flag, but the nation itself. And whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag, the government, the principles, the truths, the history that belongs to the nation that sets it forth. The American flag has been a symbol of Liberty and men rejoiced in it.
The stars upon it were like the bright morning stars of God, and the stripes upon it were beams of morning light. As at early dawn the stars shine forth even while it grows light, and then as the sun advances that light breaks into banks and streaming lines of color, the glowing red and intense white striving together, and ribbing the horizon with bars effulgent, so, on the American flag, stars and beams of many-colored light shine out together ...."
May we all celebrate the freedoms & the gifts in our every-day lives. May we nurture them in our various ways, day by day.
