Did you guess?
Picture Perfect this week is a song title from a single image taken by the participant.
My image here is probably as disturbing in its background as the original song lyrics portray. The image I took when visiting Sarah Island in Tasmania.
Sarah Island was a penal colony. An isolated island where inmates were kept in seclusion from society for crimes that were by today's standards mediocre.
The hand made brick depicted above was lying abandoned on a heap of rubble. These bricks are imprinted by their makers and even after all this time they remain intact and appealing all though they were the off shoot of a degrading society.
Let us keep our children well educated in life and moving forward in their uniqueness with potential for betterment in all societies.
Our Children are Our Future 'Our Bricks in Societies Walls.'

Hey this is great, love the information in your blog also.. Perfect with the Song title.
ReplyDeleteGreat post here Milli and all to true. Our children are the bricks in societies wall and if we do not build them strong enough we will all have heck to play. Thanks for sharing the story behind this none to ordinary brick.

ReplyDeleteWonderful picture, (yep I guessed it)..and a thought provoking post!
ReplyDeleteThe Children are the key. Great post.
ReplyDeletelmao...I guessed it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood to remember..How ironic that prisoners made the bricks of their prison. Kind of like philosophy, too, the way we build our own reality & then inhabit it. Very Nice! I've got one for you!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome. Its a sublime, subtle photo that perfectly depicts the theme.
ReplyDeleteNice job!
Well, for some reason, my blog won't accept my text--photos & video yes, words from me, no. Is this some kind of a message from the Blogoverse, perhaps?? If so, I will accept it & move on. Have a wonderful summery day, Milli!
ReplyDeleteExcellent picture for the song and great post. I did guess it but "Thick as a Brick" by Jethro Tull also came to mind.
