Optimistic Apocalypse
There was a submission opportunity recently for a photo story with the title: Optimistic Apocalypse. Mine was rejected, but that's okay, because now I can post it here! Nothing to do, nowhere to go, everything seems restricted and hopeless:
But we can still go outside and enjoy the sunshine, and the trees are in bloom:
And look, someone’s drawn a rainbow on the ground:
There’s another one in the window of this house:
This family has festooned their tree with rainbows – how lovely!
And here’s a friendly bear, waving to the passersby:
There are messages of hope and solidarity everywhere I look:
I’ve been so cheered by other people’s efforts of connection. It’s time for me and my friends to do our bit by presenting a hopeful front to our neighbourhood:
I wonder if anyone over the other side of the carpark will reply to my message:
Well, regardless, I feel much more positive about the situation than I did, and I hope my efforts will bring some joy to others as well.
