Crystal blue persuasion... Better viewed large!

Reminding everyone that Sam and I want to see your "upward-mirror" shots for the challenge!!! The post for Sam's new challenge is here... http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/12744/winner-mirror-series-challenge-and-new-challenge I know most of you can do 10 times better than this! LOL! Come on now - Get busy! Friday at midnight, London time is the deadline to get your shots posted!

I have always loved that old Tommy James and the Shondell's song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeYUR4mud_M


Look over yonder what do you see
The sun is a-risin' most definitely
A new day is comin' people are changin'
Ain't it beautiful crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready gonna see the light
Love, love is the answer and that's all right
So don't you give up now so easy to find
Just look to your soul and open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion, mm-hmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion, crystal
Blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow when HE looks down
Every green field and every town
All of his children every nation
There'll be peace and good brotherhood

Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion.....
