Olympic Victory

Olympic Victory
Mamaroneck, NY

To me there is nothing purer in sports than the Olympics that bring the world together for two weeks every two years alternating between the best in winter and summer sports. It is my hope that "clean" athletes receive all the honors and when cheating is discovered, those imposters are stripped of their medals which the IOC unlike many major sports organizations seems to be doing an effective job.

Last, I hope that Olympic Victory can turn into "Ipernity Victory." Then the smile of this photo will be contagious.

Cleverly composed. I love the title. Do you carry junk around with you, or do you juts find it and arrange it? I like the smiley. :)

For this photo, I found the allegorical Victory figure in this spot from a broken trophy and saved it in my car having come up with an idea for this shoot. I later found the soda can and discarded Gatorade bottles and saved them. The hardest thing was finding discarded lids that would be the proper colors for Olympic rings. Afterwards I put everything together to create this image and then discarded everything except the allegorical Victory figure. Most of the times though, I find everything the same day and put it together without need of saving anything for future use. Thank you for you comment Amelia.

I hope you recycle as much as possible.

Always do. It's ingrained in me. :) I used to take papers and cardboard to a local recycling plant before it became fashionable back in the '70s as a young kid.

(PS.. UK recycling started long ago.... have recycled since the late 60's. Here in OK... slow to catch on.. we drive 30 miles to recycle weekly.. we take it to a place when we go to do the groceries.)
7 years ago.
William Sutherland club has replied to Pam J club
Sad to hear about OK. Here in NY laws now dictate that plastics, glass, paper, cardboard and other recyclables need to be separated for pickup. If they're not separated, violators face fines. Still, who wouldn't want to recycle for the good of the Earth and future generations?

Note: Image created from online free clip art, and Berlin skyline obtained from Skyline Clipart. I included a crescent and star above the nativity scene to express my hope for religious tolerance and religious unity against the evil propagated by terrorists and murderers who exploit God to carry out their repugnant acts of violence and promote their sick ideology of hate. I included the biblical quote from John 1:5 to express the fact that evil will NEVER win.
