Monochrome Monday - Up
Upward
Happiness has usually always been associated with up. Why this is I don't know. Perhaps it comes from centuries of men looking to the stars for the future, hoping it would be a bright and good one.
I often find myself trying too look upward in times of abasement and despair. Perhaps this is why life is always brighter through the eyes of a child. Forced to look up to see the world and interact with it, good things are above them, a future they currently can only fantasize about.I see a little guy having a blast. It's times like these that one doesn't seem to care about being pulled down by the world. It's times like these that one remains in the moment, and maybe that's all that matters.
Don't fall
We live in a world that's designed to pull us down, but don't let it. Fight to stay a'flight, Fight depression, negativity, hate. Go out and roll in the snow, sing in the rain, bring back a few moments of childhood.
And most importantly, keep looking up!
- What do you see in this picture?
- Do you think this kid is having fun?
- When's the last time you did something childish

Of course! That is why I called my recent post: Up, Up, and Away!
Don't bring me down @peter-parker, please. You are so deep. I wanna be forever young. I do actually agree about the brightness in the children's eyes: "that's what I mean".
I'll try not to @ant-man, but please try not to float away;)
I have the stones in my pockets, I'm just learning for sure...
All the best, R
Glad I don't have stones in my pocket!
Hi Peter, I will soon publish Geometry exercises but I need your help.
I was still waiting for Lady Sif's picture.
But I think you're busy, therefore do not worry, please.
And remember: "my door is always open for you to help you study for your entrance exam". I recommend!!!
Best wishes, R the antman
What are you learning @ant-man?
The truth.
Awesome shoot @peter-parker! We should learn from the usually positive child attitude!
You're so right @airmatti!
I LOVE this photo. Compliments!
Thanks!
Ohhh...My..my...! What an Awesome capture! Moreover the enlarged view, is truly awesome!...so magnificent!...
Loved the innocence of childhood and such a carefree life !!!
Cheers!
You’re awesome too!;)
Pleasure, indeed ! :)
I think he's definitely having fun, I see the water blocking out the world except for the light at the end, he can do anything he wants in this world. I do childish things almost every day! I loved the intro text, I'm not sure about the up=happy thing, I've never thought about it but you're totally right. Maybe it's the heaven/hell thing, I'm not sure, but it's an interesting thought!
Glad you're keeping that childish spirit! Don't let go of it;)
Here's a link about up making us happy.
@peter-parker It has been a long time since no publication has been published. I hope you are fine.
I love Black & White photography
What do you think?
That would be more sepia than blacm and white right? Nice shot btw!
t.
That's okay, it's still monochrome;)
If by long time you mean a week then yeah, it's been a while;) No worries!
Is this your shot @venox?
Looking at the enlarged image you can see he's 'soaked to the bone' so he's been jumping in puddles, running up and down the pavement and in and out of all the fountains, dancing to his heart's content, squeeling his lungs out in joy.
And now he's stopped for a little while to catch his breath and to feel the wettness of it all and just how good it feels.
I look up to the stars each night before going to bed. And if I wake up in the middle of the night, it's another chance to talk to the stars again. 🦋
I wouldn't mind jumping in a fountain too;)
Nice post brother.
Thanks!
Che bell'immagine!!! :-)))
Grazie mille;)
