Avenging Angel
Let me break the series of my Summer Hues for one day. Today is theme day, and so of course I must participate.
Theme is metal and I thought of this figure right in the city of Norwich. Whenever I pass it, I think how unfortunate if the sword accidentally dropped on poor unsuspecting pedestrians or motorists. That would really hurt.

I am many things - a life coach, a diversity champion, a freelance writer and translator, a dog lover, a citizen of the world, etc - but never thought of myself as a photographer. Norwich inspires me to capture snapshots of this fine Norman city. Take a trip down Norwich lanes or enjoy a walk in the park with me.

Angels shine from without because their spirits are lit from within by the light of God.
