Skywatch Friday: Riverside Girl is Back to Point the Way

IMG 7319


OK. I'm obsessive. I had to add yet another picture of this monument this week. From this perspective, the stone on which she writes "he shall live" reflects the heavens on a warm spring day. Heaven, indeed. And oh, so alive.

  36. It's interesting to find creative people with creative minds. You certainly posted something beyond skywatching.

    Both subject and object did compliment with each other as what the story of this picture demonstrated.

  37. Is that just a reflection? That is amazing. I had to look at this long and hard as I could not quite see which way around this photo was taken. Still on sure but the reflection is just great.
