A Teardrop In Time
A Teardrop in Time
I dedicate this to all Native Americans.
This image is so much more than a photograph of a beautiful sunrise…...to me it symbolizes power and strength, and overwhelming evidence of a power so much greater than we could ever imagine…...the teardrop is in memory of all the vast numbers of Native Americans whom were abused and destroyed by others’ ignorance…....
My sunrise image was shot on 09/25/08 at 6:49 AM here in Anderson, CA
to it added a glass teardrop in memory of all Native Americans.

Great work! BTW…If you are into Native American Culture, download the song “Window” by Dick Dale. It is a beautiful song. He is one of my favorite songwriters/guitarists ever! He does mostly Surf Rock/Blues. His most famous song is probably “Misirlou” the theme song for “Pulp Fiction.”
