may peace prevail on earth!

    i've taken pictures of this sign in downtown iowa city quite a few times, but never been in love with any of them. today i made another attempt and after at least 100 snaps, i saw this group of children coming out of the library and knew i had the shot i'd been waiting for. sometimes it pays to be obsessive!

    this was also inspired by superdewa who recently shared this photo of the same sign in another location!

      I love how it looks like the kids (little boy especially) look like they are coming out of the sign - like it is a door to peace or a time warm door... if that makes any sence.
      This is such a great shot!
