“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
“it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
“it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
“it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the winter of despair,
“we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
“we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way
“– in short, the period was so far like the present period,
“that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received,
“for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.” ~Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities.

This post is not simply good Brenda, it is superb. Your images, as always, are striking. To have pared them so perfectly with Dickens’ classic quote was perfection. I loved it from start to finish.
Thank you Tina. Your positive feedback is like candy for the soul…the photographer’s soul.
Oh I love that Brenda – I shall steal it going forward 🙂
Very good, Brenda- great collection of images to suit the words
Thank you Sue. Words written years ago…so applicable today.
Indeed
Great selection! 👏
Thank you Ana!
The double exposure with the figure really fascinated me.
Thank you. I’ve been exploring double exposure for a number of years…it’s been a challenge
Beautiful, beautiful photos. Love the interspersed quote. Well done.
Thank you John. It is interesting to review where we’ve been and where we are today…especially in regards to photography.
Beautiful images Brenda. I especially like your use of double exposure.
Thank you…I’ve been studying the art of in-camera double exposure for a number of years…maybe I’ve stepped over into some clarity 😊
What awesome images you have. So inspiring!
Thank you Teresa. ‘Inspiring” and “awesome” words that bring a smile
