The abominable violence and killings in America in the last 72 hours have sadly reminded me of what the nation felt like in 1968, one of the most turbulent and violent years in our domestic history. It is time for peace and understanding, not violence and killing. With that said, I give you the words of Cat Stevens and the hope we can find our way out of the divisiveness that threatens to tear our nation apart:
"Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Some day it's going to come
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train take this country
Come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Something good has begun
Oh, peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on the peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on the peace train
Get your bags together
Go bring your good friends too
'Cause it's getting nearer
It soon will be with you..."
Beautiful photo...USA's law enforcement risk their lives everyday under the highest scrutiny for ALL citizens. USA's leaders need to support law enforcement.
Beautiful shot Danny and well expressed sentiments to go with it! You'd think we had learned something from the 60s and evolved...looking around it doesn't seem that's the case.
Beautiful colours and silhouettes. Fav! 😃 I'm so glad that guns are not the norm here. Just too many shootings, sounds like some police are too gung-ho, and the freedom to carry weapons results in such carnage.
That's a beautiful sky, Danny, fav, and poignant lyrics from Cat Stevens - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y9cbbwzKRM I share that surname, Stevens, with him, btw. The situation in USA is so complex and I can see it will be very difficult to resolve the issues. There are some fundamental problems.
Great words, Danny, and coming from the heart. This is another superb sunset capture. Amazing that the same evil is raising its head in Europe with the Brexit affair in the UK.
I saw your icon on another 365er's page and clicked on your link. It's been a long time since I have seen any of your photography when I logged in. Sorry for missing your sunsets Danny. Looks like you're in a groove! Spectacular colors! FAV!
