A strong and telling photo. And the quote is just perfect for setting the ambience.
Many thanks, Otto… That is what I had intended to convey.
I hadn’t heard that quote before, a perfect fit with the photograph – thanks for sharing.
Many thanks, I thought it was a good fit…
Powerful quote and image to match! Well done 🙂
Thanks, Madhu! 🙂
How very appropriate, Sue.
Thanks, glad you thought so ….
So sad but beautiful all the same time…
Thank you….

Many thanks, Lola, much appreciated.
