What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine
Did you evert stop notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying Earth this weeping shore
I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Although I know we've drifted far
What about the common man
Can't we set him free
What about children dying
Can't you hear them cry
Pray for Ukraine
Quand est-il des enfants mourants
Ne pouvons-nous pas les entendre pleurer
Somebody affixed a label on the Euro sign in front of the former ECB headquarter stating "Ukraine - tomorrow in Europe/EU and in the Euro". While I understand the notion, this populist wish with its urgency neglects all political necessities on the way to a united Europe. There are other better ways to support Ukraine in fighting back the Russian invasion.
I was working on this for Smile on Saturday's theme "flag unflagged" but thought it might be a bit too processed for that group. Also, I really liked the red, white, and blue shot I did post to the group. And I thought it was especially suited for the theme - kind of echoing the US flag's stripes and the flares mimicking stars. I do like this image too, though, and it will be fine for Sliders Sunday. Slava Ukraini!
This started as a close-up shot of a large group of orange, white, and black balloons attached to a screen to serve as a background for people's selfies at a graduation party.
Support for Ukraine
I captured this image of a soybean field last fall in Knox County. I used the Skylum Luminar Neo software program to edit and filter the golden brown soybeans to yellow and deepen the blue of the sky. The Skylum company and team is based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Many on their team have remained in Ukraine and are working and sheltering. We have chosen to support Ukraine through Save the Children.

My heart is bleeding for Ukraine and its brave people, and for the future of my continent.
How can a people of 145 millions not stop one man who brings ruin to us all?
Lying, dishonesty and political manipulation are nothing new. In the age of digital mass communication, however, these machinations have become endemic. The war in Ukraine is also a war of mis/information and this war is going on daily across all our media. Some of us may feel helpless when it comes to separating truth from falsehood. But we are not that helpless. Whenever we are confronted with a political message, we can ask one basic question: who is talking and what question is being asked (and, usually) answered? This will help to detect the “agenda” of the message, identify its argument and understand the claim that has been made. If we wish to go deeper into the analysis, we can try to identify also the underlying assumptions of the message, check the evidence that has been quoted and see whether or not the message makes sense. We are not that helpless. We can be skeptical and make distinctions. We can reject what is false and keep what is true.
The war continues. Ukrainians bravely continue to defend their sovereign country.
The colours belie the current atrocities Ukraine is facing, but their courage and brilliance in fighting their tormenting aggressors is remarkable.
Let's hope and pray they can remain an independent, self-determining nation--and support them in every way we can.

This tiny little Blue Tit matching the flag of Ukraine.. he has something that our World "leaders" don't have... a spine.
Never give in to crooks and bullies.
We ate brunch in Chicago's Ukraine Village where many crowded the shops preparing for Easter and praying for a peace that protects their relatives from violence and invasion.
These sunflowers were growing in Norfolk, UK, in 2020. However, sunflowers will now always remind me of Ukraine.
Enjoyed Vyshyvanka march in London last year. Can not wait for the next event.
Also, I just started this page – maxgor.com/faq. If you wanted to ask something photography related, send me a line to maxgor at outlook.com. I do not promise to answer all questions, but I will try to pick up those that appealing to my knowledge and skills.
In my village we have taken down the Union Jack to fly the flag of Ukraine as an expression of our support for Ukraine and its people.
