"In such ugly times, the only true protest is beauty!"

That is how it has been through all of history. Well done. I really like #8, water renews..

PS: now, that grey sky, it's very similar to the omen we have here in today...

Thanks! That's what I was subtly implying... that nothing has really changed no matter how much people think it has... but we can personally choose to take the current turn in politics as a wake up call to reach higher or use it as an excuse to get us down. I have a number of friends and friends of friends who are seriously at the point of suicide over this and it's just such a waste of energy and emotion. In one case a friend of a friend just did kill themselves and current politics were mentioned as a contributor... really makes me angry thinking of the young kid he left behind!

Anyway, wishing everyone the best and hope all can find things of beauty in their lives!

I like your photos here quite a lot. They feel one step up from reality (which is a compliment).

(I personally am in a self-induced political coma until the chariot "takes me home".)

Thanks Dave! I really like this idea of being here and also "one step up from reality!" I'm going to think about this idea more! Best and thanks for the compliment!
