stand for our daily challenge

i realized after i heard the song "i stand alone" it belonged to this image. i was never happy with the name of this piece. now it is right.

someone mentioned to me they couldn't tell those were people out there. those are people out there!

badwater, death valley, calif. my very first lensbaby. nothing quite like that effect. boy, i loved that lens.

my anthem

I Stand Alone

I know the sound of each rock and stone

I embrace what others fear

You are not to roam in this forgotten place

Just the likes of me are welcome here

Everything breathes

And I know each breath

It's more than enough for this man

Like every tree stands on its own

Reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world

With no one else

All by myself I stand alone

Deep in the darkness my heart still sees

Everything that I'll never be

Behind these eyes I'll go everywhere

There's no need for sympathy

Everything breathes and I know each breath

In my world there's no compromise

Like every tree stands on its own

Oh reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with no one else

All by myself...

Still

I will remember

Still

I'll run with you, yes

And when it's time for you to go

Take me in your heart

Like every tree

Stands on its own

Oh reaching for the sky I stand alone

I share my world with noone else

All by myself

I stand alone

All by myself... all by myself

I stand alone

— from the animated film quest for camelot, but works great as a poem. try it on itunes. perry makes it special.

A sudden sand typhoon raised on the side of the road I was driving, on the way from Eilat to Mitzpe ramon.

It was very high (as you can see by the electric stands). It was over in less than 30 seconds and I noticed a few more of these, but much smaller rising around me. It was impressive and strange, but wasn't frightening in any way. It seemed harmless.

Another from there --> www.flickr.com/photos/giladbenari/3594458699/

Not 100% sure of this.. but I think it is a female.. 'Blued-tailed damselfly.. 'Ischnura elegans'.. .. in the form 'rufescens obsoleta'.. .. but stand to be corrected..

There is another one in the comment box below.. or look Here..

HBW..!! Have a great day.. thanks for looking..

This Japanese Maple Tree stands in a local botanic garden and I stop to snap it every time I'm there. The delicate leaves, the spreading canopy and the short, gnarled trunk are beautiful and interestingly contrast each other. It's leaves are different colors in different seasons, but when it's "Dress for Autumn" it is at its most beautiful!

A bit better.

So I'll have a Coke and you have a Pepsi

You drive a Ford and I like my Chevy

We disagree but we can still get along

Levi's or Wranglers, Jack or Jim Beam

Straw hat or felt, beer or champagne

All these things they don't matter much at all

Cuz' United We Stand

Divided we fall...

Sandon city hall now stands mostly alone surrounded on all sides by dramatic forested mountains. A fascinating but forlorn location where you can feel the ghost from the past of all those who worked to mine 2.5 million dollars’ worth of ore per year (1899 dollars). open.library.ubc.ca/collections/bcbooks/items/1.0347567#p...:

From a weathered wooden post, an iron cage, gnawed by rust and time, dangles ominously. Crafted to hold a sole prisoner, it offers no escape from the elements or prying eyes. Its skeletal form casts long shadows, a stark and public warning to all who pass by, ensuring the captive's plight is a constant, visible spectacle in the bleak landscape.
