I like to photo shop buildings. Something about reversing the light exposure on them just gets me every time.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Humanity

Posted on by under Photography

This week’s photo challenge from THE DAILY POST is : HUMANITY

http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/humanity/

Here are my thoughts on humanity

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” ― Mother Teresa
You can be in a play
“What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.” ― Joseph Addison
“We must laugh and cry, enjoy and suffer, in a word, vibrate to our full capacity … I think that’s what being really human means.” ― Gustave Flaubert

This is the parking lot of our church. The photo was taken at sunrise just before our last artist’s gathering in August. Below are some photos of our group art project from that day. The splatter paintings will be displayed at the Toy Town Fall Fest, the C.cada fall art show and at the Cloverton concert in November for which they were made.

Death is Nothing at All

by Canon Henry Scott-Holland

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.

I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we are still.

Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you have always used to.
Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was,
let it be spoken without effect,
without a trace of shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval
somewhere very near,

just around the corner.

All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost
One brief moment and all will be as it was before
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when we meet again!

I so long to meet the great cloud of witnesses who long before I was born prayed that God would  save my soul!
