Quote: The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all others, charity. ~ Benjamin Franklin

  3. The reflection in the water is most artistic and calming. Forgiveness is to save our own souls from injuries

    1. I actually had to go find a place to park in a congested area. Then I walked from that area to the top of the bridge. I noticed this beautiful calming canal and took the shot. Thank you.

  9. I like the abstract quality of the second picture, almost like it was printed on ice.

  11. The second image is the kind that appeals to photographers because it is unique and yet it captures something special.
