"There is no darkness so dense, so menacing, or so difficult that it cannot be overcome by light". Vern P. Stanfill. (Sunset after a storm at Rhossili, South Wales.)
The history of human progression through ages has taught me one simple thing..."if your will is honest and effort is conscientious, then life will teach you to journey through all hurdles and highs"
Here is a couple mountain bikers expressing the same simple message while cycling through the Baralach Pass (4,890 mts, 16,000 ft) on Manali-Leh Highway, Lahaul valley, Himachal Pradesh, India
I was so excited when I saw the way the sun was shining through these stain glass windows at St. Vitus' Cathedral, Prague.....the reflections and colours were just gorgeous.....I tried my best to capture this extraordinary scene...hope you enjoy.......
Handheld, Pentax K3 II paired with a Tamron AF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 Di LD Macro 1:2 lens ,perspective tweaked and standard run through in DxO Optics Pro on Mac. So the image is virtually the same as when it was taken.

Looking across Jackson Lake at Mt. Moran on a beautiful day in the Tetons. This is scene no different than what the mountain men in the early 19th century would have witnessed. I wonder if they appreciated the beauty, or viewed it as one more obstacle to be overcome. More likely, they were probably licking their chops anticipating all the beaver they could trap. I can tell you that the opening of the American West was sadly not carried out by men who were concerned about preserving the environment.

Isaiah 24:20 “The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again.”
Overcome with the feeling that in this small corner of the atmosphere reigns complete and utter silence; that here, in the darkness, immutable tranquility holds sway.
Junichiro Tanizaki, "Praise if Shadows"
Watching a storm take over the mountains over a lake is such an incredible moment in time. It is an overcoming feeling to stand before the mountains with a storm swamping them. There is so much power being displayed in this one moment. The mountains already remind us of how small we are and then when a storm has the power to overcome them it shows us truly how small and powerless we are. The Creator always has more power than the created. Let a moment like this send a holy chill down your spine that reminds you that you are not in control and that there is One who rules the entire universe! There is one who has both the power and authority to not just kill the body, but also the body and soul both for all of eternity. This same One can also give life to those who are dead. His name is JESUS!

And again my imagination was stimulated. My mind made me see a being who gathers the courage to go up the stairs.

This is a part of exhibit "Power of Hope" that takes place at Novaowl Gallery. This exhibit is through the month of June
I made this photo with the help of wonderful pieces or art from Scafall, Specter Skies and K&S
Scafall : Sevilla / Gazebo & Lights
The magical gazebo is PBR & Legacy compatible and 41 land impact, and the lights 2 land impact.
Scafall Mainstore
There are lots of beautiful gifts at the store that were made with love :)
I used a few WLs from Specter Skies and blended it in one photo (Sadly I can not remember what exactly I used. I just keep collecting those lovely WLs and try it all every time until I love what I see at the screen)
K&S : Knocking on Heavens door. Backdrop (I used only the clouds. I do love them and use often)
Lets keep being creative :)

Just a modest contribution of mine with a wish to lift the spirit of all my Flickr friends in the middle of the current pandemic. I sincerely hope for the early arrival of a new dawn to disperse the human sufferings that are currently on our news channels seven days a week. WE SHALL OVERCOME!
