Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. - Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else. - Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation. - Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun. NOTE
This week's theme was suggested by billz . (Thanks, Bill!) |

With last week's theme still fresh in my mind, I thought I'd share a Coronavirus prayer. I found it on the internet at a site called 24-7 Prayer . What I especially liked about it was that it was a prayer that embraced people of all Faiths.  |

Image my own taken today. The Praying Hands is a famous pen and ink drawing by Albrecht Dürer and is stored today at the Albertina Museum, Vienna, Austria. There is a very touching story attached to the Praying Hands. Some would cast doubt on the truth of the story but whether false or true there is a lesson there for all of us. Here is a link to the story for anyone interested... The Praying Hands  |

So yesterday I decided to "clean" out a cabinet. It ended up being a trip down memory lane with me getting rid of very little. I came across this little prayer book which I thought fit this theme. Converted to monochrome in NIK SE using the Antique Plate filter.  |

Very quiet around town this morning so sat in the empty parking lot of one church while taking a picture of another - used a B&W profile and added a touch of split toning as the pure blue sky was a bit overpowering - though nice to see for a change!  Tony |

This is a monument to fallen military in a tiny cemetery that sits alone on the prairie a dozen miles south of the town where I live. The town that founded the cemetery in the 1870's no longer exists except in memory, and in the old schoolhouse that still survives about a mile away. The cemetery is still neatly maintained by some of the local residents. That the school still stands seems something of a miracle. Rick, this is an emotion-eliciting subject and your capture did justice to it. I just keep going back to these images. Beautiful! |

The church nearest my house is the Hope Korean Presbyterian Church. Bill, great finding. I love the name of the church -- Hope! We all need it in these dire times. Save these images for posterity! |

Frank, this is an image worth a thousand words. It makes one stop and reflect on its message. Your creativity paid off! |

Tony Tony, great shot -- subject as well as composition. I love the architectural details, the simplicity of the composition, and your choice of post-processing. |
