Then as now the people protesting were not a violent gang of thugs like at the Capitol on 1/6 but peaceful American Citizens who have had their fill of the lunacy that has infected our nation.
1776 as a symbolic act of resistance against British rule. The statue, which had been erected in 1770, was melted down into 42,088 bullets for use in the Revolutionary War after its toppling. This event marked a significant moment in American history, symbolizing the colonists' desire for independence from British tyranny. The statue was originally commissioned to celebrate the repeal of the Stamp Act, but its removal was seen as a rejection of colonial allegiance to the British crown.
"Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt." – Meša Selimović
"Svi kažu da ljubav boli, ali to nije istina. Usamljenost boli, odbačenost boli. Gubitak voljene osobe boli, zavist boli. Svi ove stvari miješaju s ljubavlju, ali u stvarnosti ljubav je jedina na ovom svijetu koja pokriva sav bol. I čini se da se ponovno osjećaš predivno. Ljubav je jedina stvar na ovom svijetu koja ne boli." - Meša Selimović
"Mindenki azt mondja, hogy a szeretet fáj, de ez nem igaz. A magány fáj. Az elutasítás fáj. Valakinek az elvesztése fáj. Az irigység fáj. Mindenki összekeveri ezeket a szeretettel, de a valóság az, hogy a szeretet az egyetlen dolog ezen a világon, ami elfedi az összes fájdalmat és segít, hogy újra csodálatosan érezd magad. A szeretet az egyetlen dolog ezen a világon, ami nem fáj." – Meša Selimović

"So much of my life is either chance or some thought that sprung into my head as if from nowhere. It makes me grateful and curious about what it means to be alive, to have a life and be along for the ride. I am both the author and the reader of a fascinating story. One where this loss led to that triumph. This hope led to that disappointment. This longing to that love. With a little distance, and the knowledge that you survived what had once seemed difficult or even deadly, these moments can take on magical significance." - Jedidiah Jenkins
| the splendor |
i’m learning to live in the magic,
in the moment.
seeing the sorrow, the joy,
the grief, the fear,
the rapture, the rejection
for its potential,
its kernel of life in the planting
that with time and care
will blossom and root.
giving rise to the splendor
i know
i will have never wanted to remain
in slumber.
Around 1000 AD, Icelandic leader Þorgeir discarded his Pagan statues over these falls, signifying the rejection of Norse religion in favor of Christianity. Today, Goðafoss, or “Waterfall of the Gods,” honors those spurned deities and preserves one of the country’s great legends, chiseling a path through the ancient lava fields on its way to the old Viking sea.
The latest in cock-blocking technology, Riley senses a man's suitability and responds with either a lick to the nose (approval), or a chomp to the Achilles (rejection).
This portrait is usually kept in storage. His expressions is dour, and the likeness is not flattering, yet these qualities implied his rejection of vanity. Purchased as French, it was alter thought to be Flemish. Aspects such as the man’s cloak are unusual, and the work is difficult to place. Some have even doubted the date, but technical evidence confirms it. This modest work represents the large body of paintings that are now generally excluded from museum collections or which no long survive.
I think the Astronomik filter wasn't correctly placed - it caused OOF regions on the bottom left corner...which is a bit of a shame...

Another shot from the rejection pile... I've been unable get a good shot of this sculpture - 'One and Other' by Anthony Gormley. At least this one shows the setting in more dramatic light.
Please refrain from posting any group invite icons / awards icons or any other images, thanks.
Captured this image as two great white egrets had been active in a courtship ritual when one just all of a sudden turned away as if in complete rejection of the other. It was such fascinating behavior to watch and so interesting. Just when you think everything is great it suddenly changes and the one egret seemed to be in utter dismay.

Meet Lincy.
I met Lincy a few days back - on Halloween in Bethesda where I was to return a rental lens during a lunch break. Since it was Halloween and actually by habit I carried my camera - just in case I ran into anyone interesting and I was not disappointed though I came close. After one polite rejection from a yooung couple in a haste and a few minutes of wandering around I decided to head back to office when I saw Lincy walking past with a companion. I knew I had a nice subject but was a little hesitant given her animated conversation and a little unsure if she was upset. But luckily a few minutes later I saw them walk back again this time carrying lunch and I decided to take my chance and make my request. Turned out Lincy was actually extremely friendly and needed very little convincing.She was quite enthusiastic and eager to help out. I did mention my initial hesitation and learned that she works for a car dealership closeby and it being the end of the month was a very hectic day and I guess that explained her animated conversation with Mat. Matt her companion had recently joined the dealership and was responsible for delivery while she was with inventory. Of course her dark makeup was for Halloween but would actually work to my advantage for a nice edgy look especially the eye makeup and the lips. I also wanted to utilize include bright red nail polish. In a few minutes of conversation I learned that Lincy was a mix - German Irish and Scottish and loved knitting (and I think baking). . More importantly she was very much a photographer herself primarily shooting landscape - so she pretty much needed no explanation when I said I needed to find good light She was no stranger to modeling having done that quite a few times which was apparent with her confidence and the easy nonchalance with the posing and effortlessly switching expressions (which cannot be easy on a busy street and with a stranger). I liked quite a few of her pics so had some difficulty with choices but am going with this since I liked her direct look. I also liked how the fingers and reds draw attention and compliment her stunning eyes and bring out her beauty (not that she needs help there). One thing that she would change about the world today - have people be a little more nicer to each other. A great sentiment indeed!
I did a little touch up in PS - but feedback is most welcome.
Thank you Lincy for being a part of this project (and Mat for your patience). If you would do visit the page and like a copy of your pics please drop me a note. Wish you all the very best - it was indeed a pleasure meeting you.

The End.
Happy, happy weekends Flickr friends. School holidays start tomorrow so I promise to catch up with everyone over the next few days. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on this little series this week. Believe it or not, they all started out from pictures I took at the beach last weekend. So, it's sort of been a week of beach shots with a bit of a twist. Thank you all again for being so supportive. Liz :-)
I don’t get many close-up images of the Purple Emperor, as groundings are fairly infrequent in the north-west Leicestershire colonies; however, I was lucky enough to be able to observe a ‘rejection drop’ at one of the hills. A rejection drop is where an already mated female craftily leads a male to the ground in order to escape his amorous intentions. After spiralling down together and crashing, the male quickly got the message and shot back up into the canopy. I wasn’t immediately sure what I was witnessing, but when the penny dropped I knew I had to move fast. I raced forward the 20ft or so to where they had landed, and came across a humongous and beautiful empress just laying there in the Willowherb. I won’t forget those hindwing eyes that she flashed at me as I got close - they were absolutely breathtaking and literally stopped me in my tracks. I can see how that defence mechanism would easily startle a predator. She gave me about a minute to take some photos, before taking to the air and flying over my left shoulder. An incredible experience.
“Not in front of our Flickr-friends..!”
As it is often the case with wildlife photography, it pays to wait patiently for that special moment that adds an outstanding element to the image.
Many thanks to everyone who chooses to leave a comment or add this image to their favorites, it is much appreciated.

After 13 out of 15 Airliners.net rejections in the last week so I thought I would have some creative fun with this shot...
The drama: Ayria - Lovely Day
btw, the LOVELY word is actually on the window and not photoshopped!
I've been listening to this song for hours and my head aches but that doesn't stop me
It keeps repeating and now my eyes burn
They have turned red and I do this to myself
I should get out but there's nowhere to go on a Tuesday night
This restless feeling, there is no cure for so I wait
It's a lovely day to never feel this way again
And will I ever find someone who understands my mind?
I don't think so
It's just a sea of faces and vacant stares and they will never have to be in this place again
I have your number but I won't call it
I fear rejection more than being alone
I'm almost nauseous
Maybe I'm dying?
Over dramatic, but that's what happens when you have too much time to think about the end
The lights look blurry now and the cars pass me by on an energetic street that I have no part of
I will wait for you to find me but I know you never will
I will seek to you to save me but I know you never will
I will try to regain passion but I'm faltering
I will try to overcome this but I'm overwhelmed again
52WEEKPROJECT: Week 11
Hello! I am so exited to share this with you! Today I finished my A2 Exam Project and this picture is part of a series called "In-Securities". I developed a collection of pictures as a result of the success of the image 'Monsters Under My Skin'.
This self-portrait is obviously inspired by R. Magritte, one of the most amazing artists ever.
I will be uploading soon the rest of the collection in an album. I feel so proud to see how much have I improved my photography. I hope you have a nice day as well!
Being alone is where I find my peace of mind. Being alone is where I find comfort - away from the panic, the drama, the machine of society. Loving myself, expressing myself without fear of judgement, critique, rejection - My sanctuary, Me.
Rejections of the current WTC complex while peering through the glass of the 9/11 Museum at the old WTC Tower.
I often cook the children their supper. Sometimes they don't like me trying to broaden their taste buds... tonight's rejection was my rather tasty pork loin stir fry.
Here's my answer... try it or you can have Alphabetti Spaghetti. Every day. They hadn't heard of Alphabetti Spaghetti before.
I'm often asked how to do these selective colour pop images... here's my 'how to' tutorial youtu.be/YzuL_madwfw
BNSF 6073 and 5860 east.
Reason(s) for Rejection:
- Poor lighting (Cloudy): Common angle cloudy day shots of common/standard power are generally not accepted.
- Obstructing Objects (Foreground Clutter)
Public rejection....this is the famous 'waterwall' at Melbourne's National Gallery with spooky children
It is a member of the bird family Columbidae (doves and pigeons). In common usage, this bird is often simply referred to as the 'pigeon'. The domestic pigeon descended from this species. Escaped domestic pigeons have raised the populations of feral pigeons around the world. Wild rock doves are pale grey with two black bars on each wing, whereas domestic and feral pigeons vary in colour and pattern. Few differences are seen between males and females. The species is generally monogamous, with two squabs (young) per brood. Both parents care for the young for a time. Habitats include various open and semi-open environments. Cliffs and rock ledges are used for roosting and breeding in the wild. Originally found wild in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, pigeons have become established in cities around the world. The species is abundant, with an estimated population of 17 to 28 million feral and wild birds in Europe alone. S20N_200

Het jong krijgt zo nu en dan wat pikken van de ouders, ik denk dan ook dat het afstoten van het jong is begonnen.
I think that the rejection of the young has begun.
