OK, I think enough ground has been covered on immigration and muslims, passing by catholics and protestants. When I switched on the computer I saw 130 posts.

Even though I agree with a lot of the comments, especially the one made by USMCRET concerning the caravan being organized by gang leaders.

However this thread is now closed to any more comments on immigration and religious beliefs. I could close the thread altogether but it's original idea from le petit caporal as a source of info found in the media concerning the legion is spot on.
SO please refrain from posting any more comments on immigration and Muslims etc.
They will only be deleted.

Fair enough Joe, Truce in memory of the 100th anniversary.

In Media, the wild fire in California has been horrific to say the least. Over 60 Confirmed Dead and Hundreds unaccounted for. A very fast moving wild fire with Thousands of homes completely Destroyed. 613 unaccounted for.

Les gilets jaunes. The French strikes about the tax increase has resulted in at least one death and several injured. The problem is now, with whom can the government negotiate? There does not seem to be any leaders and all the politicians have been invited to stay out of it. Spontaneous road blocks or go slows. One woman who was trying to take her sick child to see a doctor was surrounded by a bunch of people wearing florescent jackets. They began thumping on her car and she panicked and drove into them. One woman was killed.

Before and probally still, it's said that a person (soldier) has a thousand yard stare
Eyes speak louder than words
Scrutinise the horizon is more than just a boring / repetitive task to do. ..As if my or some one's else life depends on what i see
Same can be said for a prisonner in a cell
An Invalid years in a wheel chair
A boring and contrived existence
Why can you not understand ?
Are you in / out or still making up your mind ?
Art, needs no explaing
So why do i reply ?

Of course... eyes are the mirror of the soul. But is not obvious or even indicative in this project.

Yes, we all (or some of us) know that empty staring, that cold look in the eyes. Look on our faces which is not present, it is somewhere else, far from current time and space. :( It happens sometimes. Those who know what I'm talking about would understand me perfectly. It simply way some of us operate and I think its have to be good for something.

Capturing that with photography... non-possible! Maybe, just maybe in some rare cases, but definitely not in this pics shown on that project.

We can talk much deeper on this subject if someone is interested!

The officiers cited

Passed myself for a ranting prick at times. ..but it was all for a good cause (the mines)
I am never far wrong in my analyse, call it a gamblers flair if you want
Have always said to myself, it's a question of time
