It’s been many months since I have taken up the Weekly Photo Challenge. This week it is Reflections and it’s a topic that appealed to me and I instantly knew what photos I wanted to share for this challenge and dusted off my memory cards. It is a photo challenge that has been set before in 2012 and whilst I have tried to use new photos I have used at least one again, and make no apology.
However, the more I thought about the word, the more I realised there is more to Reflections than a mirror image, it could be philosophical also – we reflect on life. Therefore my first Reflections photo is of my local beach at sunset, with a verse from Rudyard Kipling’s poem “If” which is an excellent reflection on life.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings – nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!
Then there is the more literal take on Reflections. These photos were taken in 2011 and 2o12 and have been a personal reflection of happy times spent with friends.
