I want to thank Carlos for creating lovely kaleidoscopes. I feel like a kid in a candy store when I look at his pictures. Your creations inspired me to make this background.
James, I thought about you when I worked on Sarah. Hope you like it.

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%E2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.

However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).
They who surrender to a grasshopper may fear,
but undeniably believe what they cannot hear :
hey i'm not afraid. wake up ! you are poisoning my world !...
happened (also) to me 5 years ago when one lonely grasshopper kicked my nose and pulled my staring focus out, after which he kept staring at me for almost 2 minutes.
Life, it's only a matter of time... not only for you but also for others here now and still to come.
Not only conquer but acknowledge surrender makes not only yours, but also their lives won.

Some people just need to give up!

I surrendered to the call of the snow in the mountains to come out and get a photo or two. The clouds kept me out.
