I thought I'd edit this image as a tribute to the theme of the shoot "Still I rise", juxtaposing the location of the shoot (i.e. the historic Belvoir Castle), to celebrate the defiance against inequality and adversity.

"Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise. Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear, I rise. Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and hope of the slave. I rise, I rise, I rise." Maya Angelou (1928 - 2014).

N.B. Best view on large screen as you won't see the script on your phone :-) I hope to draw your attention to the repressive statue/bust at the back juxtaposing against the script of "Still I Rise" and Bethany...with a defiant look into the future.
