Teach Your Children
You, who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a goodbye
Teach your children well
Their father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
And you, of tender years
You can't know the fears that your elders grew by
And so, please, help them with your youth
'Cause they seek the truth before they can die
Teach your children well
Their father's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you

The little man stands up for the future…
I live in the United States of America, and, while I’d never tell anyone who to vote for, I find the pivotal moment before us too important to sit quietly on the sidelines. No matter where you live, I hope you have the ability to stand up for what you believe in, to use your voice, to use your power for good, and, right now in my country, to get out and vote.
I believe in working together to build a world founded on kindness, compassion, connection and community. I believe character matters. I believe we should lift one another up and treat each other with dignity by showing respect even if we disagree. I believe everyone has the right to make decisions about what happens to their body, and everyone has the right to choose who they love. I believe in a world where everyone can pursue their dreams and where we help one another to achieve them, a world where we bring people together through understanding. I believe in freedom, and the best way to be more free is to grant more freedom to others.
If, like me, you have this important right, the right to vote,
please do, and stand up for your future.

Making bricks is a common activity on the highlands of the Madagascar. The clay used to make the bricks is taken from the rice fields and this extraction contribute to the degradation of the soil of the rice fields. But also it is necessary to burn lot of firewood to fuel the kilns and this contribute enormously to the deforestation of the island.

Uigur children were photographed on my overland through Tibet and Xinjiang in 1987. All of these children are now adults with their own children and some maybe even with grandchildren.
The picture was originally photographed on slide film with my Nikon FE camera and 130 mm telephoto lens.
I photographed the slide bracketing it with a Nikon D850 camera and enhanced the picture in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz.

Children of Darkness: Written by Richard Farina, and sung here by Raymond Crooke
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2_KogbPzhA
I had not heard of Raymond or his version of this song until just a few minutes ago. I was always used to Joan Baez's more heavily orchestrated rendition. I think Raymond's version has more gusto.
I guess it's OK for flickr people to help boost Youtube people.
A little bit of an LOL...When I went looking for the lyrics, I was offered a "Children of Darkness" ringtone. Nothing much is sacred anymore.

Lyrics
the original song of RICHARD FARINA
(copyright Whitmark and Sons) is the following
Now is the time for your loving, dear,
And the time for your company
Now when the light of reason fails
And fires burn on the sea
Now in this age of confusion
I have need for your company.
It's once I was free to go roaming in
The wind of the springtime mind
It's once the clouds I sailed upon
Were sweet as lilac wine
So why are the breezes of summer, dear
Enlaced with a grim design?
And where was the will of my father when
We raised our swords on high?
And where was my mother's wailing when
Our flags were justified?
And where will we take our pleasures when
Our bodies have been denied?
For I am a wild and a lonely child
And the child of an angry man
Now with the high wars raging
I would offer you my hand
For we are the children of darkness
And the prey of a proud, proud land.

Taken for photo challenge 2009, day 89: children
It seems so lovely and simple topic for photochallenge - children... On the first glance, it' s so easy, children aren' t insects that I couldn' t find under the snow some week ago :-) But as the day went, as more I understood how crazy this task actually is in wintertime. My 12 year old son tells he is not a child anymore, plus, he doesn' t want to be a model for photos... All outdoor attraction parks are closed, in school I couldn' t get during working time, and what is left? Some families with children on the street that I would chase like a hunter hiding behind the corners and trying to jump out and cross their way into appropriate moment? ...
Feeling desperate I went to a toy store in hope to find some kid there... but instead I stepped into a scene where I found a wild owl under the roof next to toy store... so I got unique shots thanks to this challenge... just of a bird, not a child. The owl is posted on Flickr now. Needless to say, toy store did not grant me with any kids nicely playing around shelves.
So it' s quite late, and my last escape is the child I had been once myself... here it is. This photo is one of first colour photos in my family album, and it' s taken by my grandfather, photographer, who lived long and fulfilled life, 101 year...
Por coincidência, eu e Cássia (blusa preta) visitamos a Fenações que fica há 2 km da Fale. Encontramos as crianças da créche "Recanto Feliz" brincando ao ar livre.
Thi photo was taken during my workshop in Warsaw, Poland. I wanted to share it today because today on March 8th we celebrate Women's Day. All the best to all the women out there!
