Great picture…sad but true story. I am Native. I am Oneida. My people were originally from the east. Guns did play a big part in how the West was Lost. Mighter than the gun was the pen. The pen placed Natives on reservations, made laws to strip them of thier dignity, and forced them to conform.
This is a great photo. Very nicely arranged and the lighting is great. More Americans could use an education as to what really occured…how the West was really Lost (won).
The truth is…there are many races of people that have been walked over through the history of time. Blacks, Mexicans, Indians, and Jews to name a few. As terrible as it all is, it helps show proof that this world we live in needs Christ as the center.
Until that day happens, when more and more people place Christ first in their lives, we will continue to see disaster after disaster. Who is next? What is next?
If were up to mankind, we would end up destroying ourselves. Regardless how it happens, we must come to grip with our time here is short and our purpose is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Great photo…brought out a lot of thoughts in me. Thanks for posting this.
Anibal replied
WOW..Thanks scott, I am very happy when I actually have a piece of art touch someone… Yes thier is alot of history people like to leave out and alot of Jesus that alot of churches like to leave out.. I live one day at a time and hold to the path that is right and everything always works out in the end… He is the truth and the Key to heaven. I trust him.. I am glad to see a fellow christian.. Brother in Christ? I hope

Isa Rodriguez
I have alot to say to say here.. but Scott Denney said it so so so perfectly !! It is all so true..
When we live for jesus, all else is sinking sand.
this touches me deeply too. for it is “win ”. it is ” lose”.. all the time. It is all in who is seeing themselves as winners or losers or niether. it just is.
this picture is absolutely totally amazing in the still life.. it the arrangement, in the message from one heart that beats true to its value. as you do.
For e , it is difficult to place in words ..
Godbless us everyone.. I am latina all the way , and I love the beautiful USA.. but every country has its problems and battles and pride and honor and tears and blood.. and strength
you are a wonderful beautiful amazing photographer sweet Anibal !!!
Anibal replied
thank you so much Isa…yes a picture is worth a thousand words and how its decifered there is no code..I am glad I touched your heart, you are so sweet Thank you for your suport!!!
