“Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” -
The Weekly photo challenge is Beyond. Beyond is a word with many definitions and is used as a preposition, an adverb, and a noun. While I was contemplating what I might post as a response to the word “Beyond”,an idea occurred to me.
Today I am using three images that were in the blog before but I have been working hard on them, taking them beyond their previous state. This work has taken me beyond the limits of the blog as I am preparing these images for printing. Each of them, I believe, represents one of “beyond’s” parts of speech.
Adverb
“on or to the farther side”
Noun
“That which is past or to a degree greater than knowledge or experience; the unknown.”
Preposition
“on or to the farther side of : at a greater distance than”
How did I do? Did I push it beyond endurance?

They’re all good.
I loved the first one, the first time I saw it, and I still do …even more.

Thank you. That is the really hard one to work on and with. So many ways to go and it isn’t a technically perfect picture by any means.

Love them all. The second one speaks to me. There’s a story with that couple, but don’t know if it’s happy or sad.

I truly think it is mystical.

Each is really very nice! But I love the last one. The colors are fabulous, and the moon up in the corner was a surprise!

It was to me as well when I realized that it would fit in the frame! Thank you for the kind words.

Damn. All I can say is my meager moon photos of late pale in comparison to this one. Damn again. That’s pretty.

Beyond the ordinary into the extraordinary. Evocative images all.
