abracadabra us [deleted] says:

once upon a time a sage old man told me that even finding and arriving in the Emerald City sometimes we discover there is no place like home. we just have to know what home means to us. being home sometimes is in who you really are, being at home with yourself, no matter where. being at home also means comfort and the company of those who really care about you.
the bank of clouds is spectacular!

Nick Owen's Poetry and Pictures says:

Home is where the heart is

its where you hang your hat

I remember that from a song sung by Hidea the witch in a cartoon I used to watch with my daughter Holly when she was four.

Home used to mean my mother, maybe still does for Gill.

Now my mother is dead and my home is beautiful but borrowed

the only home I have is my family

and half of that is borrowed too

So every now and again off we set

down the yellow brick road

even through there are no bricks

Nick Owen's Poetry and Pictures says:

Of course they have changed the controls on the magic donkey

much to my surprise it suddenly and very briefly makes the bottom end of explore after I gave up and posted it to lots of groups.
Basically this shot is a No1 on explore with the colour of the road changed for dramatic effect.

Quite a few favourites but very few views for a shot of mine

Ah well
