Weekly Photo Challenge: Community
There’s an exciting sense of community among soccer fans rooting for their team. Here, Brazilian soccer fans, in pre-World Cup mode, root for our beloved “Seleção Canarinha.” Will Brazil win its 6th World Cup at home in 2014? I sure hope so! 🙂

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Alone
“Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.” (Paul Tillich)

Travel Theme: Symbol
As I searched for photos for this week’s Travel Theme, “Symbol,” I came across this one, where the American flag (a national symbol) is embracing a palm tree (one of Los Angeles’ unofficial symbols). I thought this was, well, symbolic… 🙂

Travel Theme: Sky
These photos were taken in Ojai, CA, a picturesque town, 83 miles from Los Angeles. The Ojai Valley is known for unique sunsets called “pink moments.” To capture those moments, instead of looking west at the setting sun, one should look east to see its reflection on the bluffs of the Topa Topa Mountains, which for a few moments are airbrushed a Day-Glo pink. Well, much to my disappointment, the weather turned bad when we were there, and the pink effect didn’t quite happen. Instead, ominous dark clouds covered the mountains, which I found extremely dramatic and absolutely awesome. Here are a couple of the photos taken that day.
