Description
With all the frightening wars on this earth we long more and more for peace. The Christmas carol emphasizes 'peace on earth' connected to the God of the bible. I'm looking forward to the fulfilment of this genuine peace. Until that moment comes there's still a lot trouble on our ways. Even in the peaceful environment of Renderosity, although harms are rare - fortunately!
There are still military pacifists, entirely harmless, like this wild orchid in the Netherlands. It is the soldier or military orchid (Orchis militaris), without any arms but beauty. And I must give in, I surrendered immediately!
Have a peaceful weekend!

Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments
P.S. I doubted, is this the category Flower/Plants or Military? I can't choose both :)

Hehe, i guess you chose the right category :o) Excellent shot of a beautiful flower !! Is it calles "Soldier" because of the little flowers that resemble little men ?

Wonderful photo (love those purples) and great thoughts as well. I guess it is named the military orchid because of the "ranks" of flowers? They DO look like little figurs, but more like nuns with the big habbits rather than soldiers. I do think you picked the right category...lol.

I'm not sure humans are capable of peace...and least not the ones in charge...but we can always pray and hope for a change. I love the details in this flower and the lovely purple color.

Gorgeous flowers! and your words...well i think about the devastation of wars and pray for peace. i do believe that won't happen until the 2nd coming of Christ. I've never understood how some people could be so cruel and the so many people are fighting and killing each other. thanks for sharing your thoughts and this lovely image!

this is so beautiful!!!!!! i think much about your words here. there is a huge war between good and evil, and peace on Earth...well i long for that too. I realize troubles will only get worse. whatever i am facing now...well somehow this morning while looking at this and thinking about your words, I'm wondering if all the troubles i've experienced have been to strengthen me for what lies ahead. I believe we are living in the End Times, and that there is huge, huge troubles ahead. I have to be ready. Has my life been some kind of training? I have to surrender my life and will over to Jesus. When will i do this? The song "Onward Christian Soldiers is in my mind now. I need to pray upon those lyrics. I stumbled here this morning...why? I think perhaps here i found a part of an answer...an explanation. thanks for listening.
