This week's photo hunt theme is Veteran's/Military. I just didn't have time to go out and get the picture I wanted but I got this shot the other day when I was at the lake. I have no idea who the couple is. But the picture of it really struck me. The cannon from WWII (I think) and then them sitting there in such peace obviously enjoying each other's company. It reminded me of how we are in peace and have freedom because others have given their lives and fought for that. It also reminded me that there are service men and women who, at this moment are away from their loved ones, serving their countries in varied capacities, whether in war or trying to maintain peace for others. Thank you to all our service men and women and the veterans!
For more Photo Hunt go here.
Peace and Freedom. I enjoyed reading you post today!

This one is really good. A time to reflect good deeds. My picture is about the military parade yearly done by the Cadets of different schools here in our place.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Conflict and happiness side by side...
ReplyDeletelovely photo and such true words.
ReplyDeleteA perfect photo for today's PhotoHunt! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteA picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case I would say it's worth even more.
ReplyDeleteI just caught up on your last few days and read your post about having to make a decision regarding your job. You are doing the right thing by taking it to the Lord. Paths open up at the right time and doors close also at the right time. You will be in my prayers Susanne.
Sending love and hugs to you!
Beautiful photo Susanne!

ReplyDeletePeace. Freedom. Bravery. All words I think of when I see those cannons. GREAT pic.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo - your picture tells the story.
ReplyDeleteExcellent and poignant post. Thanks for the visit.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts, Susanne. I don't think I would have caught that -- the vision of peace next to an instrument of war, the one made possible by the other.
ReplyDeleteWow Susanne, what a terrific photo and so appropriate for The Hunt this weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe do take our freedoms for granted. It is good to remember that we have brave men/women to thank for their sacrifice.
Great photo for this theme.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend and thanks for the visit.
A very lovely photo and apt words.
