Sunday Selections #332

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
 
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life.  The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River.  Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.


Before I start,  a big thank you for your patience while I wrestled with the lurgy.  I am still coughing and sneezing and still fairly miserable but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
 
Like River I usually run with a theme.  My city is often fog bound.  It is almost a given in winter that planes will be delayed.  


A relatively recent forcast was for 'patchy fog'.  And it was certainly foggy in our street.



So we headed off to the lake to capture more moody, mellow magnificence.  We discovered that 'patchy' was a very accurate description.  In my usual restrained fashion rather a lot of photos follow.



 No fog here, but only feet away...




Just turning my head could change the view.  Into fog/out of fog....













Then to some different photos - also taken on the fog excursion.  Watching the news hurts my head and heart on a daily basis.  Our treatment of those we classify as 'other' in particular.  And on my lake wanderings I was reminded (again) that there IS good in our species.



I really hope you can read this sign.  SIEV stands for Suspected Illegal Entry Vessel.  This tragedy has been echoed across the world.  There is an article here written by one of the people who worked on the memorial which some of you may like to read.  The article is not new, but very little has changed.

The final lines on the sign 'Love is stronger than fear.  Kindness is stronger than greed' are hopes that I hug to myself on dark (or foggy) days.
