so a stranger can live

[beachcomber]

Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live



Can you take what you need, but take less than you give



Could you close every day, without the glory and fame



Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name



That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.

Wonderful photos Steve. I'm glad you're awake into the wee hours so you can post shots like these! Beautiful words to go with them too. As ever.

People are amazing creatures, we tend to focus on those that cause trouble, maim and are just plain nasty, and forget there are a whole lot more people quietly and unselfishly making this a better place to live.

Thanks for such an inspiring set of photos. I do so appreciate your perspective on life as well as in photography.

Very thought provoking Steve, we are so led by politicians and the media to focus on the bad in the world that we easily forget all that is good in people.
