INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

A collage of two images: An ancient Greek bas relief from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, “The girl and the doves” and one of the pictures I took last time I was in Ioannina in Greece, proving that two points in distant time across the centuries can be bridged quite spontaneously because of the unchanging humanity of thought and experience. If you live in peace, be grateful and appreciative of it, for there are many who are steeped in conflict and warfare.

  2. What a fine collage. Love the contrast of the bas relief ancient carving and nearly identical contemporary photo.

  4. What an absolutely amazing image! It really does bridge the centuries and personalises the idea of peace!
