Imagine

The City Daily Photo Community has set aside today to show support for the people of Iran and to honor a fellow blogger from Tehran who has been missing for the past week. We are all hoping for his safe return so that he can continue to show us his beautiful city and share his insights.


I thought this image of a poster inspired the words of John Lennon would be an appropriate tribute for today’s post. I don’t believe I need to quote any of the words from his famous song, but if you would like to be inspired by it again, here is a link.

One of the best things about the City Daily Photo blogging community is that it allows a little glimpse into the lives of people from all over the world. We get to see sights in each other’s communities; sights both, old and new, famous or unheard of, public or private. In our comments to each other we reach out with praise, advice, humorous anecdotes or fond memories and in doing so, we make friends all over the world. We all share our love for the photographic image and our pride in our individual communities.

Regardless of our geographic remoteness and our multitude of diverse backgrounds, we exist peacefully and happily in our cyber-world, learning from each other and enjoying each other’s keen eye for beauty. If our real world was more like our cyber-world we would come very close to achieving the vision imagined in John Lennon’s words.
