I have been away from making pics for a bit....but trying to get back in the swing....This is a pic of a statue that we did have at our SL home. (Now in my inventory--as Clive and I tend to "redecorate a lot" LOL!).....but I was struck by this piece for long while.....and this is what my mind saw. 🌸🌸🌸
We seem to be getting dangerously close to world war! Is it worth it???? Do you have any idea how many people lose everything and are left in complete and utter misery? Why can we not find a way to sit down and discuss our situation, without the power of money and greed? It is beyond time to find a solution and if we don't we have no-one to blame other than ourselves!!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
And for a change of pace, here's a Coast Guard PB4Y Privateer, photographed at a St Louis air show a couple weekends ago. The conditions were beautiful, with nice fluffly clouds in the background so that it is hard to tell that they were photographed from the ground. Unfortunately I had to leave with a migraine shortly after the show started.
Our local war memorial, a day after the hail storm. Somebody had taken a planter, filled it with soil and stuck a couple of British Legion wooden poppy crosses in. Now covered in water. When you plant something, then I would think with the expectation of growth. I wonder what the expectation was - the death of millions as the seeds of peace? No more war?

Images from the JEATH War Museum in Kanchanaburi.
Wikipedia: The JEATH War Museum (Thai: พิพิธภัณฑ์อักษะเชลยศึก) is a war museum in Kanchanaburi, Thailand about the Death Railway built from 1942 to 1943 by Allied POWs under the direction of the Japanese, a part of the Thai-Burma railways.
The acronym JEATH stands for the primary nationalities involved in the construction of the railway: Japanese, English, Australian, American, Thai and Holland, whereas the Thai name is Phíphítháphan Songkhram Wát Tâi (Wat Tai War Museum).
Ooh, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Ooh yeah I'm gonna fade away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our streets today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Many people live in their own little world and ignore the big problems like climate protection, war and social injustice!

They fought the longest war in american history.
They fought the longest war in american history.
In 1965 Vietnam seemed like just another foreign war
But it wasn't
It was different in many ways
And so were those who did the fighting
In world war two the average age of the combat soldier was 26
In Vietnam he was 19 . . .
...Dank einer Recht großen Verspätung war es am 18.11.2020 möglich den Normal am Vormittag Fahrenden gemischt Zug aus Zwickau zu fotografieren. Direkt nach der Arbeit ging es an den Nürnberger Ostbahnhof und dabei hätten mein Kollege und ich keine Minute länger brauchen dürfen. An der Stelle angekommen sahen wir bereits das das Ausfahrsignal in Richtung Dutzendteich Hp2 zeigte. Da war uns klar jetzt ist Eile angesagt also rauf auf die Feuertreppe der angrenzenden Schule und Kameras raus. Oben angekommen gelang es gerade noch die Kameras einzustellen da fuhr auch schon 232 472 mit ihrem 17 Wagen starken Zug und einer V60 am Zugschluss durchs Bild. Zufrieden könnten wir danach entspannt die Treppe wieder hinunter steigen.
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord …………
And when you ask them, "How much should we give?"
Ooh, they only answer "More! More! More!"

During our War Horse walk (see previous upload), we did encounter many Dartmoor ponies. This one at least had the same nice brown colour like Joey from the film but missing the white socks and spot on the head. I took this photo next to Drizzlecombe, a fantastic Bronze age settlement with long stone rows, round houses, cists and huge standing stones..very impressive!
'Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.' (Max Lucado)
Will there be a day, when all leaders of the world will become teachers, who will teach peace to their people?
Will there be a day, when all children of the world will learn peace, and their choices will not be driven by fear or hatred, but reason and love instead?
Will there be a day, when those children will grow up and be the new leaders for us who will create a world, where the idea of war will be as far as the idea of slavery in today's world?
Will there be a day, when in a war-free world, all humans can collectively commemorate the defeat of Mars - God of War, with a statue of remembrance, the marking of the greatest achievement of human mankind?
...
Fanaticism, patriotism, profitism, all the many delusional psychopathic thought chains and lies leading towards fear, death, destruction and cross-generational suffering. Leaders of nations should know better, speak better and do better - they should all lead and transcend their people further and away from those thoughts for a better world for our children.
In the absence of leaders who serve humanity from the positions they occupy, we all need to be the teachers and leaders to our people and our children instead. We all should talk to them about their choices, about love, about the ways of leaving Mars behind, so one day we can build that final statue of Mars, and send it away from Earth to where it belongs, to planet Mars instead.
