Welcome back, Ms DU, from your 8 week trek thru beautiful Australia - we missed you! Your title and capture surely reflect the mood of your country and it's citizens on this sad morning after. Please know we in America send our thoughts and prayers to the hostages who endured this horrific ordeal and also to the innocent lives lost and their families. #11207453

A magnificent capture of our beautiful old bridge, and that sky makes for a magnificent backdrop!

A stunning pov and scene, Debbie, and an appropriate tribute to those whose lives were lost or traumatized by beasts who don't deserve to be called human.
I hope your trip was all that you wanted and more. May the rest of the holiday month give you all that you want, and more! #11208951
