The Theme for January ... Peace

In light of the events of this very new year around the world, it strikes me that we should share photos that invoke peace, instill peace, create peace, restore peace. Only your imagination is the limit. Landscape, people, animals... whatever is peaceful.

Enjoy your PEACEful rest of the week, weekend and MLK Day!

PS: They are in alpha order by the submitters' photo titles. Names of posters will be revealed after the conclusion of the contest.

I hope it conveys to us the variety of interpretations the theme allows. I feel calmed viewing the entries, I feel at PEACE.
Great start, CurtEastPoint.

The PG is filled with such wonderful people! They were there to help me, too. Still are.

You're going to have a wonderful contest! The theme is beautiful and needed.

Think "Peace" over the weekend!
It's so timely. Group meditation helps.
