Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward

Forward. Progress. Reflect on what matters. One step forward, two back? Sometimes, to move forward, we need to look back, reflect, think about what really matters.

Details make belgradestreets. Hidden courtyards. Hidden lives. Striated stone. Crosses. Chipping away. Trees encased in iron. Grids. Always grids. Swirling art deco piping. No parking. No access. No questions. Fencing. What comes next on belgradestreets?

Zoo. Prison or preserve? Our responsibility to protect wildlife? Our desire to control, classify, incarcerate? Roaring, railing, roaming, ranging. Restrained by railings and ramparts?
