Green power

Posted by
dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 13 July 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

When I saw this scene, I thought it would make quite an interesting image, especially with everything that is going on in Iran at the moment. I am not informed nor knowledgeable enough to make a value judgement about what is going on there, but green has become the symbol of the values of freedom of expression and freedom of speech - and this is posted in support of those values - in every part of this world of ours.

Jacqui and I leave early Tuesday morning for a short break up country, and, all things being equal, will be back late on Friday. Planning is quite hectic at the moment, but I am hoping to find some time tomorrow (Monday) to post some archive images for the remaining days of this week.

So will see you all next week. Take care.

Beautiful light and textures in the background. A very sharp image, too. Here's to green power and to freedom, then! Have a nice break!

Very cool composition! The green is stunning and one can feel the electrical current in the air brought by the 2 towers. Fabulous shot!

The lines and circles are superb in this shot Rob, and the composition is wonderful. It has a really arty look about it.
Hope you both have a safe journey and a great time :)

Nice shot and sentiments. The simplicity of this is brilliant, and the greens are marvelous. Safe travels and watch out for those flooded roads.

You put a great title and meaning to an ordinary scene and you created something extraordinary. I support it wholeheartedly, especially because many years ago, as a student, I went through a similar turmoil back in my old country, Poland.

cheers
