Happy to share this one. I managed to get 2nd place in monochrome this month in the Basic group of photographers of the Louisiana Photographic Society.

"And that you help those that are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land."

Donald Trump Demands Apology From Bishop Who Hurt His Feelings

Right Rev. Mariann Budde had appealed to Trump to have mercy and compassion during an interfaith service.

The Daily Beast

"It is one of the most extraordinary moments of the Trump era, and reminds us, on this day after we honored Dr. King, that not all heroes wear capes. Some may also wear robes."

@Vulpy amazing pic. Wish I had some in my portfolio like this.
@jlgrantham nice photo. I like taking pics such as these and each one brings me back to where I was when I took it. You captured the light perfectly on this one.
