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.
Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower. ~Hans Christian Anderson
Quote is a favorite of mine so if I have used it before , don't be surprised!!
*Working Towards a Better World
Birds are free and so are we and we should be thankful for every bit of freedom we have. No living creature should be caged they all have the right to go where they want, when they want, how they want and with whom they want. As long as they obey the rules of sharing, caring, tolerating, reaching out and accepting diversity. Let's start living for freedom for EVERYONE and EVERY BEING!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Cuando el confinamiento se convierte en una pesadilla.

"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.

La foto me mola, a pesar del desenfoque, ruido... etc..
Me encanta tener la posibilidad de hacer este tipo de fotos.
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."
The symbol of freedom can stand for long time while we could only admire its existence for fraction of its time.
自由的象徵可以存在無止盡而我們只是在它的片刻中抱著欣賞的型態出現。
Caged Bird
by Maya Angelou
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
A photo from my early years of travelling and photographing.
Preacher's Point, Abraham Lake, Alberta.
If you're on the wrong side of 50, you start thinking about different things than you did before. And you can also start reorganizing your values.
Pretty much since the beginning of my career (if I may call it that) I've had the saying, "I don't work for money, I work for fame and glory." That has changed drastically. Maybe because at some point I realized that I can't pay my bills from either and because you can't make that much of it these days in general.
Today I long for one other thing more than anything: freedom.
To my great regret, there aren't very many moments when I really feel that freedom, and I still don't have a real plan on how to get out of the confinement that I've created for myself in order to noticeably increase the number of them.
But when I stand in a place like that and let a scene like that sink in to me, then it's there.
Wenn wir auf der falschen Seite der 50 sind, fangen wir an, über andere Dinge nachzudenken als zuvor. Und manchmal beginnen wir auch, unsere Werte neu zu ordnen.
So ziemlich seit Beginn meiner Karriere (wenn ich es so nennen darf) hatte ich das Sprichwort: „Ich arbeite nicht für Geld, ich arbeite für Ruhm und Ehre.“ Das hat sich drastisch geändert. Vielleicht, weil mir irgendwann bewusst wurde, dass ich von beidem meine Rechnungen nicht bezahlen kann und weil man allgemein davon heutzutage nicht mehr so viel verdienen kann.
Heute sehne ich mich mehr als alles andere nach einer anderen Sache: Freiheit.
Zu meinem großen Bedauern gibt es nicht sehr viele Momente, in denen ich diese Freiheit wirklich spüre, und ich habe immer noch keinen wirklichen Plan, wie ich aus der Enge, die ich mir selbst geschaffen habe, heraus komme um deren Anzahl damit spürbar zu vergrößern.
Aber wenn ich an einem solchen Ort stehe und eine solche Szene auf mich wirken lasse, dann ist sie da.
