Best on black. I created this after lying awake last night thinking about hatred, about war, about how much loss they create. This was made with a night shot of my own and a shot of the Oregon "Stonehenge" that was built by a Quaker man who had seen the ravages of war and wanted to create a memorial that would speak to people of the horrors of war. The two soldiers in the shot are Adobe stock images. The clouds were made using cloud brushes.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

It feels like we are losing all the ground we gained since I was a youngster have to worry about Russia gain, Nukes, lack of legal abortions, racial hatred and civil rights losses.
Powerful image, the human race is "suppose" to be the most intelligent species on the planet. Well we haven't done a good job of proving it so far in some 2/3000 years. The only thing we have proved is we can now kill each other quicker and in greater numbers from a greater distance.
This makes me think of my husband’s service and his experiences. He was a combat corpsman with the Marine Corps in the jungles of Vietnam. PTSD reared it’s head as he approached retirement. It was like his brain was quieter, which allowed for memories to surface. That was when we moved from Florence to Seattle where there was better VA care and family support. The VA has been fantastic. In fact, the VA should focus on PTSD and physical and mental trauma and allow vets to just go to any doctor for medical treatment. Their programs and treatment for those who need physical rehab for loss of limbs and mental health treatment is fantastic. The PTSD treatment my man got from the VA was life changing. They even offered help to me to walk the healing process and to better understand the things he had to do to move into his own healing. Their mental health facilities are fantastic!

I have no illusions anymore. Man is wise and sensitive. People in the mass are hopelessly stupid. We eat the gifts of the earth and waste our time chasing the bunny.
