Description
.... something a little different (from me) with a photo originated 36 years ago
There is still beauty
Friends, do not forget: there is still beauty
When the darkness comes and shadows fall,
Music, Art, and nature, gentle comforts
When despair is deep and hope is small.
Friends, do not forget: there is still laughter
When we’ve finished choking down our tears,
When the world seems full of desolation
And we grit our teeth and face our fears.
Friends, do not forget: they have not taken
Kindness, love and friendship from our hearts.
If we can resist the hate and anger,
Maybe we can be where healing starts.
We will rise again tomorrow morning,
Sunshine follows even darkest night.
Think of this when you feel close to breaking
As we walk the long road to the light.

thank you (all) for viewing and comment... I don't see (m)any of these, but expect it's similar tedium to some of your constructive techniques. I can blow this way up and see minute areas of improvement in blending, but doubt I could improve the photo.

In the final analysis, it is not the great powers that rule countries. It is not the leaders of world religions. It is not the financial giants, nor the powerful corporate magnates. It is not the world militaries. It is none of these entities that will restore light to this dark world.
It is us.
Excellent restoration on this photo.
