    Am I missing the ice sculpture? because I'm seeing photos of graffiti aren't I?--

    Anyhow, I love the way you bring together things we usually wouldn't think to put side by side, like the words of a great general from a past generation and the protest-art of today's frustrated young people.

    Yet, when we see them there through your eyes, they work together so beautifully, and often I think wow, we should do this sort of thing more often.

    Thanks, Sandy. Your posts always make me linger, and gladly.

    Ok . . . trying to figure out if it is paint or ice. I thought graffiti via paint. So what is it?

    As to the quote -- opportunity offers security. . .

    I'm seeing paint (possibly graffiti, possibly not), but don't take my word for it. Whatever it is, it dovetails nicely with the quote. But it stands on its own too.

    Don't they say that the Chinese symbol for opportunity is made from the symbol for crisis?

    Nice catch Sandy.
