Finally Found One I Like
Of course, the very best one is over at Treacher's place. I even saw that same pic in its original habitat, but somehow wasn't able to copy it onto my hard drive; very annoying. (I guess I could steal it from Treacher, but that would be wraaaawng.)
The point is, we deserve lovely images about this pivotal moment in middle-eastern history. One we helped bring about. Cherish them.

I used the one Treacher did, but I sure like the one you found. The complete face reveals a determination behind the purple finger. Beautiful girl.

Actually, I like yours better. I like seeing the whole face that way, and the lines and shadows are stunning. I like the power in her face, her absolute certainty.
All day Sunday I was rummaging around looking for my old bottle of purple printer's ink. Couldn't find it. I really wanted to sport a purple finger, just in solidarity, you know?

It's amazing to be watching historic, tectonic events unfold. Like living thru WWII. And how pathetic that for the Boxers & Kennedys, it means nothing beyond how-does-this-advance-my-partisan-politics? Bankrupt.

I feel just like that. I find myself trying to figure out how I'd describe this time to my grandkids: there are those moments of hyper-awareness, and those times that everyday life interferes with the sense of awe we sometimes carry around.
Auden was right about suffering and the old masters, but what he said about suffering also applies to triumph: there's history, and there's the pedestrian. Great events occur, and life goes on.
Very strange.

I'd like to make a comment that has no political or social value at all - she looks like she could be John Travolta's sister.
