The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

There is art everywhere if we just take the time to look.
You took the time, Christian.

Does remind me to my childhood Christian. My (late) parents said: "Put the seashell against your ear and you'll hear the sound of the sea." So I did. Think the result is well known, lol

Thanks for another very fine image.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
