A Reminder

This photo reminded me of the World Trade Center and how our country came together at that time.
Why can't that happen now?
The silhouette on the left is Stephanie.

Nikon D5000
1/1000s f/4.2 at 85.0mm iso560 full exif

A wonderful composition and fine view. Concerning your current situation, I think Walter has said it all in his comment. Moreover I think it´s always easy to stay together in times of a foreign enemy, but without everyone is playing his own games and for his own interests. v

As bad as it is (and it's really bad) we're still the best country in the world so we better take care of business. Nice shot.

Excellente composition. V

A terrific impact image that says more than a lot of words. We can only hope that they will come to their senses before it's too late.
Helen Betts03-Oct-2013 16:39
Excellent and very creative framing, Jane! The silhouette adds great emotional interest as well. I agree wholeheartedly with Walter and Jim's comments as well as yours. I read an excellent piece by Tom Friedman in the International Herald Tribune this morning about how our very democracy is being threatened by this small group of politicians who are holding the country hostage over their ideological demands.

A great composition, and wonderful silhouette of Stephanie.
I thing there is an answer to your question Jane , it has something to do with Tea.
I agree with your evaluation.

I can't really improve on Walter's comment. Very moving image, Jane.

a strong visual metaphor for your nation's predicament...unfortunately major decisions rest in the hands of career politicians..they face long term issues with short term thinking..

It is most unfortunate that it takes a great tragedy for people to come together. Having worked in DC for many years, I can tell you that the government was already dysfunctional decades ago and this problem has only become worse over the years, and is going to continue to get worse unless the system is fixed. Add to this the self serving nature of politicians, the incredible influence of lobbyists and the amazing stupidity of voters, then it's no wonder we are where we are.

This is a stunning capture, Jane! \/

That is a great image,Jane! As for why can't we come together,Those self serving idiots are not there to serve the people.
