This is a self portrait I created on the idea of being broken and thrown away, just like an old toy would be

Abstract composition with my smartphone, lol. I'd never have thought it had so many layers inside... Prints here.
I actually drove on it with my car, it was already destroyed, so I decided to destroy it more to make a nice photo... Bye Xperia Z1.
See it on Facebook.

Todays challenge on www.photochallenge.org/ was "Broken"
We had to pop to the Mall today to pick up few things, and since it was a nice sunny day we popped out the back of the Mall by the Hudson River, where Lulu could sit and relax and enjoy a Coffee while I strolled around looking for a shot for todays challenge, I got all kinds of shots, but none that I was really happy with as showing broken, I got worn, rusted, fallen but not really broken, but decided they would have to do and we started heading back home, as we were walking about a block or so from home, I spotted this broken car mirror on the side of the street, so took a few shots with it and went with this one
Hope everyone had a good weekend and wishing you all a good week ahead
To my flickr friends, I've been feeling a little broken down lately. Hope to be back in the saddle soon and see all of your great photos. :)
Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there's just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I'll get up again
Don't count me out just yet
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
You haven't seen the last of me
They can say that
I won't stay around
But I'm gonna stand my ground
You're not gonna stop me
You don't know me
You don't know who I am
Don't count me out so fast
I've been brought down to my knees
And I've been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I'll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven't seen the last of me
There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I'm down…
(Cher)
Siamo bambini
in giardini
di pietre
siamo angeli
senza più ali
spezzati dal vento
siamo ricordi
che nessuno ricorda
siamo pellegrini
in cerca d'amore
giocattoli rotti
tenacemente vivi
.. ancora vivi
abbracciati ai nostri sogni
An image I made while standing near the top of the hill at the broken gate that market the top of the "Triangle Field" at Gettysburg, just across the road from Houck's Ridge and Devil's Den. The triangle is about a three acre area of field containing large stones bordered on the top and bottom of the hill by this stone wall and on the western edge by woods. On the afternoon of July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle, a portion of Union Brigadier General J. H. Hobart Ward’s Brigade met the Confederate brigades of Brigadier Generals J. B. Robertson, Henry L. Bennin, George T. Anderson and Evander M. Law in battle. After many assaults, retreats and re-assaults the Confederate forces were able to cause Ward's forces to retreat across the valley to Cemetery Ridge north of Little Round Top. This left Devil's Den secured for the Confederates who could then continue onward to Little Round Top.
For those with an interest in battlefield ghosts, "The Triangle" is generally regarded to be the area noted by Gettysburg ghost hunters as being one of the most spiritually active on the Gettysburg Battlefield. The last two times I have visited the triangle field since I made this image the gate was noticeably missing. I'm hoping they were just restoring it and that someone hadn't broken it further or worse.

"Hi Doll!"
He's been calling me that for years
I like it
Truth is I have always been a doll
My permanent smile
My open arms
I was a sweet sixteen's baby doll
her brother's too old to play with doll
a favourite doll
forgotten doll
replaced doll
A bounced off two cars rag doll
A fashion doll
possession comfort toy pretty thing on your arm with
eyes that roll doll
Not real
not taken seriously doll
A spinning three faced porcelain
cracked and chipped with rocks and scissors
paper doll
fragile doll
disfigured doll
tearing out my stuffing
losing my head
broken doll
A doll
like any other doll
that just wants to be held.
I've driven by this old homestead many times without stopping but on this occasion, it struck me how broken down everything was - the home, barn, even the tree. Hopefully, the people that occupied it at one time, lived a good life there.
from another broken home I lay
just discarded, damaged left and forgot
abandoned unloved and caught in the midst.
What hope do we have but my own i insist.

ODT - ON YOUR GROCERY LIST
Taken before daybreak on a hike to Broken Top, an old volcanic crater in the Cascades range. Shot at f22, 1/8sec, ISO 100. Post done in PS with additional sky using the Lavender filter in OnOne. These wildflowers are usually not accessible until late August/early Sept.
Finally got some time to Myself to go exploring in SL. I came across this sim, it was amazing. This caught My eye and couldn't help Myself from snapping a shot. Kind of how I feel these days.*chuckles* If I find the Slurl I will post.
Today I was promised a glorious Sunset, the skies had the right amount of the clouds, the light was becoming true gold, but then, the promise was broken with clouds covering the skies. Next time, please keep your promises :) Cheers everyone

Being a futurist, there is only one thing I could add to the quote. That I look at what I will have and to help others as well. Looking ahead can be very motivating. Looking for the best light to see things in is a treasure hunt in itself. In the case of this pic, it's some proverbial lemonade.
Monday, I get a knock on the door. Not naming any names, but it's the two kids from next door. Two brothers out playing baseball in the street, the younger one has quite the arm. The baseball he threw accidentally landed in the rear window of that same Japanese car I was talking about on my E Z post and shattered the glass. It can all be fixed. And actually, I was happy be able to take some cool pics.
So, I have this car with broken glass, it starts to rain. I don't normally park my car in the garage, so I had to spend time making room. My dog Blondie, healing from her recent injury has to be on a leash while she is outside. It kept raining this week. So I'm getting rained on left and right. The guy comes to fix the window and the window is broken right out of the box. So he has to come back. The second time missing a piece, the third time, broken again. It's still raining. My window is still not fixed. And the power went out twice this week. Once while I was commenting on an intruiguing abstract and the other while commenting on someone's self portrait here on Flickr.
But as I go back into my house after being rained on, I see on TV people in Japan getting snowed on, with no house to go back into. Recently homeless pets with no more master. No garage to park their car into. Or no car anymore. No food to eat. No electricity or utilities. It's not pretty and there still are aftershocks. Amazingly, there's no looting.
For this past week, I just thought it was important to put aside some other things I was going to post and do things to show support instead. Hopefully, I have found some good resources for those of you who are willing to show you care. It's so 'do-able' even though we have 'stuff' going on in our lives. Beneficial and uplifting to those affected. Who would not want to offer that in a time of need?
As I was taking these pics, I promised the kids that I would use them to benefit others in some way especially if they have moved to earthquake country. Broken glass...even a 5.0 can result in a lot of broken glass. The Northridge Quake, a 6.8...everything that was in the kitchen cabinets was out and on the floor broken. Aquariums fell over and broke. Pictures fell off the wall and broke. Stuff from shelves and bookcases. Windows broke. So brace what you can and make sure to have some shoes nearby.
The kids and the baseball...who is to blame? The one who threw the ball or the one who didn't catch it?
And if anyone has some selective focus tips, I'd love to hear them. :-)))
Please!! NO Awards or Large Graphics...Group Buddy Icons are OK. Thank You!

J'ai eu beaucoup de peine de retrouver cette petite cuillère cassée en 4 morceaux. Cette pièce de collection en céramique agrémentée d'un dessin de papillon ramenée d'un précédent voyage comptait beaucoup pour moi.
I always feel that there's something slightly magical about a stone wall.
It has history, a sense of past and of all the things humans build, it's probably the most in tune with the landscape and nature - that and willow fences and hedging! :-)
It's not a pyramid or a stone crafted palace by any means, but it is someone's art, someone's vision and their sweat and toil that makes it so unique.
I always wonder who it was that built it and perhaps when. And too, who has repaired it over the years.
Derbyshire is very fortunate to have a glut of stone walling and to a very large extent, it "styles" much of our landscape and shows off it's history too. Back to the days when land was divided and more people worked the land or farmed.
Here's to the tradition of Stone Walling and may it long continue!
