"Live Tomorrow"
It's cold around me, the night is young
The sun has fallen
And I've become the lonely one
The moon is dancing among the clouds
And my knees are shaking
And my dreams are braking
But I know I live
But I know I live, today
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could...
Taking my life in my hands!
(the power who has it?)
Taking my life in my hands!
(the power who has it?)
I don't like to wait! No, no...
It's happening, It's happening...
I don't like to wait! No, no...
It's happening...
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could live tomorrow
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I know I live today
(I live today)
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I don't think we should wait! No
(I live today)
I know we could live tomorrow
(live tomorrow)
But I know I live today
I know we could live tomorrow
But I don't think we should wait! No

This is my contribution to demonstrating against any kind of censoring art.
Originally it had "censored" writen on it, but I like it better this way.
No rubber ducks were harmed in the making of this picture and .. uhm well, the squid was deep-frozen when I bought it.
The Flickr community really shows its capability of protesting in creative ways. Thanks everyone for supporting this!

Jan Hus was a Czech church reformer executed in 1415. His teachings had a profound influence on the history of the Czech nation.
Jan Hus’s contribution to the development of the Czech literary language was the introduction of diacritical marks, such as: č, š, ř, ž, á, í, é. The purpose of this innovation was representing each sound by only one symbol and eleminating digraphs (sounds represented by two letters).
The inscription on the monument reads “Milujte se, pravdy každému přejte”, which means more or less: “Love one another, wish the truth to everyone”. This is a shortened version of a quote from one of Hus’s letters from prison. The day of his execution, July 6th, is a public holiday in Czechia (Jan Hus Day).
My small contribution on the eve of "happy Enviornmental day!!!"
This is a variety of Saccharum spontaneum which is a grass native to the Indian Subcontinent.
It is a perennial grass, growing up to three meters in height, with spreading rhizomatous roots.
My contribution to the springtime cuteness fest that's broken out across the flickr wildlife groups ;-)
This boarded up shotgun house may date to the early 20th Century. It would be nice to believe that it was saved and relocated for local historical preservation purposes.
Shotgun houses generally consist of a gabled front porch and two or more rooms laid out in a straight line. Rooms are directly connected without hallways. Shotgun houses may have derived their name from that room format, as it was sometimes said that a bullet shot from the front door would pass through the house without hitting anything and exit through the back door. However, the term may also be derived from togun, the Yoruba word meaning “house” or “gathering place.” Although shotgun houses are small, were inexpensively built, and generally lack amenities, they have been praised for their architectural virtues, which include the ingenious use of limited space and decoration such as gingerbread trim and brightly painted exteriors. They represent a unique African American contribution to architecture in the United States, dating from the early 19th century to the early 20th century.

contribution for MM challenge for 29/7/19, theme: "Made of Wood"
Such a broad theme - the sort I find difficult but this was going to be the olive board which I've used for quite a few other snaps before. But to get the full benefit of the grain patterns would take more than 3 inches. So trying to keep it simple I went with the most familiar and common thing made of wood and set them against the aforementioned olive wood board. Double wammy!!

contribution to Macro Mondays group for 23 Jan 2017 - "It's A-Peeling To Me"
Partially inspired by the cover art for the debut album by Velvet Underground & Nico.
contribution to MM challenge for 3/2/20 - theme: "The Odd One"
The subject matter doesn't (or shouldn't!) need any explanation other than these are some of my partner's hobby tools.
The title is a direct take from the 70s sitcom featuring one of the best characters of all time - Arnold. That said I have no idea if it has stood the test of time, but he certainly was an odd one!
Wishing all my WTBW friends Congratulations for our Third Anniversary! Thanks to you all for your wonderful artistic contributions for a better world over the past 3 years. Hopefully, in a small way we make a difference.
Let's all reach out beyond the divide and come together in kindness, tolerance, understanding, love, help, respect, positive thinking and actions, compassion and embrace our differences, my friends!
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Contributions to Islamic art found in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque include the art of using colors to create original artistic forms. The colors of the walls, columns and the carpet are harmonized together transforming the entire Mosque into an artistic masterpiece and a symphony of colors and shades.
Contribution to MM challenge for 24/8/20, theme "Glass"
Well it's not an original idea but once I'd taken it I kind of fell in love with the imperfections in the glass even though my original plan was to eliminate them! They were lost for some time and I'm still not sure I've recovered them...
Just in case you're wondering it's shot in a puddle of water on a tin foil "bowl" in direct sunlight!
A simple contribution for this theme; a single pin (singles were seen in the sample gallery) lying flat on a white piece of card in the shadow of a plastic "crystal" bottle stopper purchased from a charity shop for this very purpose. This is a crop of about a quarter of the frame.
Taken handheld(!) in bright sunshine with the Helios 44M on about 5cm of extension tubes at f/8. In post -processing, I've added a blue colour to the shadow with some complementary orange to the pinhead. I've then brightened the central (horizontal) band of the image to keep the eye on the pinhead and not drift upwards.
My contribution for this week's theme «Gear»; for the Swedish photo group Fotosondag.

contribution to Macro Mondays group for 26/06/17 the theme being "Broken"
I'm away for a few days so may not see many contributions so HMM to one and all!!
I found this challenge hard, not because I couldn't think what to do but because the choice was too big and I think I've ended up being a bit cliche.
My contribution to Photo Sunday with the theme "the first". The first pieces are laid in this world's smallest puzzle. I need tweezers to lay the pieces. The first real challenge this year, in patience and dexterity.
Mitt bidrag till Fotosöndag med temat "den första". De första bitarna är lagda i detta världens minsta pussel. Jag behöver en pincett för att lägga bitarna. Den första verkliga utmaning i år, i tålamod och fingerfärdighet.
contribution to Macro Mondays theme for 24/04/17 of "intentional blur"
the effect here is created with flash (slow rear sync for anyone interested and it was entirely experimental on my part!). ironically the shutter speed used is faster than most of my other contributions to the MM group!
Contribution to the Macro Mondays challenge for 10/9, theme: Rock
And I didn't even notice the sad half face until I'd finished shooting!
poss contribution (#1) to MM challenge for 27/4/20, theme: Windowsill
something green after last week's yellow - I know there is no logical progression there but...
one of the pitiful herbs (rosemary, just in case!) that "grow" on my kitchen windowsill. The background ins't really real it's a piece of felt put in front of the window to block out the mess of the outside and to soften the light coming in
