Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
Like River I usually run with a theme. I am a bit more random this week, and am featuring 'installations' in our town centres.
The first comes from a town centre close to home. The installation were put in quite recently (November) and I hadn't seen it until I went Christmas shopping (shudder). There are two of them facing each other titled 'I Am & I Hope' by Nathan J Lester.
On those dangling ribbons people had written their wishes and/or a description of themselves.
I only saw one description which read simply 'I am AWESOME'.
The hopes were more varied and included: I hope
'for the best',
'for mental fitness'
'for diversity'
'for biceps'.
Some less rushed day I will explore further.
I went into town one day last week to do my usual shift on the crisis line. It was a hot day, with a squillion people (conservatively speaking) rushing from shop to shop. There were other signs that Christmas is nearly here too.
I liked the wooden star benches, and suspect they are illuminated at night.
The Christmas trees are new addition. If you embiggen you might be able to read the sign which described them as a 'Live Christmas Tree Forest' and invites us to snap a selfie or hang a bauble.
I was there early and there were no selfie takers and the baubles were few and far between but I do like the live forest. And it was a hot day and the scent of pine was delicious.
Christmas is indeed very almost here. For those who celebrate I hope it is everything you could hope for.
However it is also a difficult time of year for many; including the bereaved, the lonely, the poverty stricken. With that in mind we will have a very low key Christmas and I will spend Christmas evening volunteering with Lifeline. Judging by my shift this week it will be a very, very busy night.
River posted a Sunday Selections on Saturday featuring Christmas in her part of Australia. It puts the decorations here to shame. She promised more for today too, so for much more Christmassy bling please visit her posts.
