if no one ever had merged blue and yellow, so we didn’t have known green
just think what about a spring without that color..?
A friend of mine (a very well known gourmet chef) he says that all great inventions
yes, they are discovered by chance or even by mistake – I think that right
it apply an enormous amount of things not just delicious food
just think if oxygen and hydrogen had not merged – no water
how many things are actually free of merger, I don’t know many.
Even something unique is often something merged
so this week’s photo challenge can’t be anything but merged.
Merger of human beings are important in the least for mankind
marriage should be the catalyst for a merger
but merger without marriage has always be known too.
Gold wedding couple (my fathers mothers parents) 1954
Speaking of marriage, it’s a bit funny – in the past – were wedding pictures often “half boring” and very predictable but marriages were usually lasting much longer than the time it took the wedding pictures to fade – today’s wedding pictures are imaginative, unique and beautiful – but the couple probably already divorced again within the photographers have produced the picture and handed it to the wedding couple.
Maybe not the most harrowing wedding picture
but it lasted about 60 years (1904-63)
with nearly 20 children as a result
and no twins among the siblings.
Money was only used wisely and thoughtfully – therefore never been taken a wedding picture – just a single photo at the children’s confirmation (and there were many almost 20) so there was confirmation each year for 20 years with a few exceptions – this photo was taken at the silver wedding in 1929 – not all children had arrived home yet.
but the silver groom’s father had reached photography.
That’s another way of merge.
Great interpretation of the theme.

Thanks, you so sweet – I have always been ‘encumbered by a terrible fantasy’ – I always try to convert photos into words and words into pictures – can not help it… ‘hahaha’

Yes it was really a great number of children, She was in every way a person who brought people together in – no one was left out – but nevertheless she was a very characterful woman… 😉
You impress me .. for a drake you are extremely eloquent and original :D.. at this age when a word merger rises so often in business contest and merging of companies you offer the interpretation of marriage as a merger… you are one smart-ass duck 😀 (very likeable one too)

Don’t listen to all these white or grey drakes – they just talk, and are the “bad” guys – but the black ones they are the good ones… ‘hahaha’
All that stuff about business merge, that’s in a way a part of my daily doings – so it’s so ordinaire – to find opportunities instead of obstacles, it is also part of my daily life – and that is what makes it possible for me to buy butter for my daily dry bread… 😉
Ummm really like that “a smart-ass drake” – I’m a great ass-looking drake myself – extremely discreet – and only female ducks… ‘hahaha’
😀 😀 yeah, yeah, the subject has come up in the past – the @ss subject.. so you are managing something right, for your daily bread? I forgot to be honest what exactly you do…
You have to mentioning too that the drake always starts looking at the eyes before something else… 😉
But of course …we have established that too 😀
😉
Very unique and original take on this….i enjoyed it

Thanks, really appreciates your kindly words… 😉
Wonderful old photos – I do hope they are labelled so that, some day when someone picks it up and wonders … they will turn it over and be rewarded with the knowledge of who it is. I threw out so many photos when my parents passed because they had become meaningless without some indication of who they were. Lost.

Agree you are totally right – there often interesting stories hidden behind old photos and we have to remember sharring those stories with the future – I have now many of mine grand parants oold photos and have used much time to write down these informations from the past with great help from my dad who is real good to remember the stuff but not that good to remember to get it written…. 😉
