Do you feel tired, stressed, over busy? Does the world around you seem dull and flat? Pause and let these 57 photographs with simple words boost your spirit. Photographer Alexander Garside helps us to see the world through fresh eyes, and to appreciate the beauty of nature and our urban landscape. There is joy, light and life all around us. Philip Garside has added one or two words to each photo and also penned spontaneous short texts/poems/prayers to draw further meaning from each image. You might like to meditate on an image and its text each day, working through the pages sequentially. Or dip into a page at random. Write your own response to an image. It's over to you. From the Introduction Our son, award-winning photographer Alexander Garside, takes memorable, striking, and diverse photographs which have inspired me for many years. I created most of the photo banners in this book, based on his images, during our first Covid-19 Lockdown in March and April 2020 and posted them daily on my publishing company's website & Facebook Page and my Twitter account. My intention then was to bring some light and beauty into people's lives as we navigated our way through being stuck at home for an indefinite time, and uncertainty about our futures. This year I have reposted the original banners on Facebook and added a few spontaneous words responding to the images. Some new banners have been added too. Rev Gloria Zanders has enjoyed the daily posts and suggested I make them more widely available. This book is the result. Thank you for your suggestion and support Gloria.
