Oshun, a Yoruba deity is the Goddess of sweet water.

I saw Ababe Bakila run while prepping for the 1968 Olympics. He was amazing, but a fractured leg kept him from winning his 3third Olympic Marathon. Momo Wolde of Ethiopia won.

It's an interesting photo. Lots to look at texture-wise with the overlay of shadows, and the colors feel good.

Like the color combination, too.

It's fun to be able to roam around looking for shots. Living in the south, we have a lot of interesting front doors and I toyed with the idea
of taking my camera and looking for a shot. Too lazy. Went for the archives. Hope you enjoyed your walk about!
