My iTunes: For the Moments I Feel Faint by Relient K

Evening all. This was going to be another lame attempt at a Wordless Wednesday but I look at my clock and it is 12:03 am London time....well, it's still Wednesday somewhere in the world right?!?!

There's a lot of big changes happening in the life of my family right now. These changes aren't bad ones just emotionally draining. As much and as long as I have yearned to be settled in one place, God hasn't settled us just yet. Maybe He will soon. I will wait, although not as patiently as I should, but I am sure He already knows that about me. :)

I snapped this on a walk on the Hill. Very serene. Very hopeful.
The original shot is below for those of who said you who wanted to see it when you commented.

So much for wordless...

Take care everyone.

Anna said...

Yes, it was shot at dusk but then I put it in sepia. :) Maybe I will post the original tomorrow....

You can't be worless anymore than I can!!

I can't wait to see you; mom says Monday is best.

kenju said...

Oops - wordless.

And I meant to say that I like the placement of that cross!

John Roberts said...

Another possible CD cover! You're on a roll!

kenju said...

I've just given you an award at my place. I know you maight not have time to respond to it now, so don't worry about it at all!

Mark said...

Can't wait to see the original. The cross looks like it's inches from that background, judging from the shadow. Hmmm...

It looks like a graphic design. I'm having a hard time seing thsi a s an atual photograph. I believe you...I just have a hard time seeing it. Looking forward to the original.

Also, I wish you all the strength you need to get through your emotionally draining changes. May they be changes for the better.

Unknown said...

A beautiful and peaceful photo - very soothing. I'm sorry I've not visited as much as I would have liked to of late, but you're always in my thoughts. Sending you big {{HUGS}}

The original is up! :) I promise it was a real sky taken at about 8pm or so. I just loved the colors of the sepia when I was messing around with it later but that blue is pretty too!

Kekiinani said...

WOW love that yellow background version... AWESOME!! :)

The Harbour of Ourselves said...

very soothing....love the b/w version, and i agree with john another possible cd cover

Anna said...

Thanks Paul...that second does look black and white but it is actually a navy blue. I like it too!

Anonymous said...

Very unusual shot. I like it though. It seems almost 2 dimensional. Not sure how to describe it.

May the wind be at your back. Times can get trying at times but sit back and enjoy them. Some day you and John will look back and laugh at some of the things that were emotionally draining today.

Anna said...

Thanks Mike....

You are so right in what you wrote....

I appreciate it.

Michelle said...

Very nice. Big hugs, I hope things come to an even keel for you guys soon, I understand!

Ash said...

Cool!

CG said...

So beautiful...

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. Leaning on Him and having patience are sometimes the hardest things to do. I love the way you share your life wih us.
Nice picture and focus.

utenzi said...

Even the original looks more like a prepared graphic than a real photograph. Pretty impressive work, Anna.

Anna said...

Aw I love these!! Plus it makes me happy that I was with you when you took it (I was right?).

bluemountainmama said...

anna...i'm with ya, girl. especially with young children, it's nice to put down roots somewhere and feel "nested" and settled. i will pray for you during this transition time. and rememeber, i have some diet cokes waiting! :)

Elaine said...

I love the composition--so simple yet it makes a strong statement. Maybe this will be your final move. And I also think it would be wonderful to go shooting together!

Just Photography said...

It's awesome! It looks really 2-Dimensional!

Have a good rest of the week Anna!

JAM said...

Beautiful. I tend to like the top one best, the orangey, sepia-like-ness is more appealing to me.

Simple and powerful.
