Diva Dare # 124: "We Are Calgary"

This week's challenge is an open challenge focused on recent events in Calgary. The basic request was that keep Calgary in our thoughts as well as any other place on earth that has been impacted with some sort of tragedy. This was tough as was not sure what to do. Even after I was done, there were a lot of negative things that went through my mind about this ZIA. but I am not going to There have been a variety of things lately that have occurred such as the tornadoes in Oklahoma. When such things occur, as Laura mentioned there are stories that emerge about miraculous things and the community pulling together. It does not change the events that occurred but provides some level of hope and comfort to those involved. That was the focus of my thoughts as I was doing this ZIA.  Even with the raging water and the parts of the earth stripped bare, there are signs of hope and life that still emerge. I am not sure that the images accurately portray this, but it is a message of hope.  I hope that you enjoy it.
