Hi Michele, do not bury your hand in the sand, no need, just some sleep is mostly enough for healing and facing reality. It's not you who has to solve all these economical problems around you.

I don't like to see animals in a cage!!!In my opinion every animal and every person has to be free...but unfortunately it isn't like this!And this is so sad.But it is a great capture...and a thoughtfully one.
Big hugs to you,
Nicki

Hello my dear Paul - Again I must admit that You are right about our cages---- I just choose not to view them altho I realize it is not always a smart way to view things - and our country is in dire straights as well :(
Hugs & Kisses back from Michele~ who wants to bury her head in the sand some days :)

Dear Arif, I would really like to tell you what the lady was thinking, but I forgot to ask.
I'm pretty sure in asking her thoughts she would be smiling again, not that I ever would get the answer :-)
have a nice Sunday evening too my friend,
Paul

Hi John, this shot is not meant as sad at all. Even the caged rabbits do not suffer as long as they get pretty good food (and believe me the food in France is of reputable high quality). "Hard subjects make sometimes the best photos", you said and fortunately I confess that I always experience the freedom of making exceptions on rules such keeping me on track in making the best photos not depending on the subject :-)
all the best my friend,
Paul

Oh dear Michele, your thoughts are free and great. The free part of your brain :-) talks about the inner freedom, not about the external constraints.
Also Democrats and Republicans talk about freedom, which you will not get through meditation but voting on the right candidate :-) who would you believe most, will give you most freedom.
I mean freedom within a certain cage.
Hugs and kisses from Paul

Merci Aziz, mes pensées étaient là et sont différentes certainement avec celles de la dame sur l'image. En réalité la liberté sur la pensée me paraît infiniment plus grande que la liberté de l'image. Je ne parle pas de la liberté exprimée par mes mots :-)
amitiés,
Paul

Hi Jen, freedom is "feeling free in yourself" to a certain limit. Also if your country is occupied and a soldier tells you, would you accept ? But I agree "imagine the cage and it will be there. Imagine the freedom and you will believe you have" But so much starts with imagination and soon needs comparison with reality. At least the thoughts about exist and my picture of these thoughts as well :-)
Have a nice Sunday evening,
je t'embrasse,
Paul

Freedom can be experienced in great safety and rules exist to be broken once ... until next elections, I guess. Thanks for your visit,
Paul

Grazie Teresa. I haven't been away at all :-)
The cages are all imagination as freedom can be experienced as well. Cages are as relative as freedom. Rules exist for being broken :-) Freedom needs limits as well otherwise it can not be defined :-)
baci,
Paul

oh sad shot... well, I don't think we...like to be there in these small cages, well... after that we can... "watch the animal in safe" :-( very sad... it's 100% the same with prison... they are in prison with no good cause... and that is very bad... the meaning of the shot is that counts here Paul and it's hard... but hard subjects sometimes makes the best photos.
be well!

Hello my thoughtful and dear friend ..... you have given me more food for thought.... ahhhh but first things first - 'The Image' - I find it very clear and detailed with very good light and shadow AND a Big story to tell 
I can follow your thought pattern about 'Freedom' and also understand what You are saying on one side of my brain BUT I have this other side that says
Freedom comes from within ourselves......... We can be imprisoned or caged within our own minds 'OR' we can be free inside of a cage -making our own prisons.
There are many forms of lack of 'freedom' as You have mentioned- and I respect your thoughts so much - I do hope that You also can understand mine to some degree .....
It is in deep meditation that we are truely 'free'
in my humble opinion -
Big Hugsssssssssss my dear ,
Michele~

The photo is beautiful, and the "About" is very meaningful and encourages to think about the subject.
In fact weight of the "About" is more than the photo itself !

Health and Happiness

Freedom is feeling free in yourself for a start in my opinion......I dont like rules at all, but what to do without rules? I have seen last week on Crete that if
you can handle your own rules, there is a lot you can do,
without getting into trouble:)) Great shot dear Paul, I always feel sorry for animals although I had a cavia myself in earlier days......^_^
Kisses and hugs, Jen

This world is the most regulated and controlled world since ages. Rules can supply safety but limit our freedom. Is that the balance then ? Freedom versus security ?
