Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Rob, I was told that blind people have a better capability to smell fragrances when compared to people who aren't blind. Knowing this, it clarifies the expression on the face of lady Helen Keller. This expression is enhanced by the colorization process.
You've done another outstanding job again, my friend.
Thanks for the done effort. Very much appreciated!

I was talking to an old acquaintance and I mentioned her roses in the back garden and she said she missed the fragrant scent of a rose she didn't have. I suggested to her it was easy enough to plant the rose bush she missed so much in her flowerbed.

No doubt this blind lady had her priorities right!
Fine work Rob. (o:

Progress equals a trashed planet since mankind is too busy altering it. BTW find the classic definition of Caedes here. Enjoy yourself today (o: because you don't know what tomorrow may bring.

I have come back to this because not only is this colour enhanced photo very beautiful - it serves as a lesson to us all to make the most of what we have and not crave that which we don't. Helen Keller could not hear the birds sing, or hear a symphony, nor could she see a beautiful sunset, or chat with a friend. Yet here she is using two senses she does have to capacity, her sense of touch and her sense of smell.
I recall being told at school about Helen Keller when I was very young. I cried for her then - now I am just filled with admiration and often brows her quotes.

I had seen images of her as a child and an old woman, until now, that is. She was quite lovely, and your expert colorizing does her justice, indeed. And yes, Bruce, she can now see and she can also understand what an impact she has had on so many people. I'm not muslim or arabic but I know that the Koran states that when we die all things then become clear. I'm sure she has all her faculties intact and probably smiles a little whenever anyone remembers her and what she still represents.
