Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. the theme for this Saturday, August 9, 2008 is DARK.

There are many ways to interpret dark. This can be interpreted literally meaning without light. This can also be referred to as a time of day where sunlight can no longer be seen. This can also be interpreted philosophically meaning different things depending on the person interpreting the word. Click here for the different interpretations.

It is dark inside a movie house. This was at an IMAX Theater when we watched The Alps, documenting about conquering one’s fears and facing these fears. There is a correlation here to being in the dark and not facing our fears.

Have you ever experienced traveling on a long road on a very dark night with heavy rains and fogs? The sight of the lights welcoming one back to civilization is both a relief and unwelcome. A relief because the travel has almost come to an end and unwelcome especially when one has to face “reality” upon arriving at the destination.

People have many dark moments in their lives. With so many problems one has to encounter day in and day out, it is easy to give up and not do anything at all.

But let us remember that God had His dark hour too, when His Son Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the people.

That is more than enough reason to get out of the dark and see the Light.

Driving in the dark during a rainy night is something that I don’t look forward to.

Your second pic reminded me of this one time when I got lost on a dark road without any street lights. It was raining and the road seemed to go on and on, and I was starting to panic. Felt as if I was in a horror movie!

9 Aug, 2008 @ 9:49 am

Julie, seems like this week we’re both watching movies in dark places :)
Happy Weekend!! :)

I’m going through dark moments in my life now due to my son’s medical problems. Why are the specialists baffled? they cannot find any cause for his illness. sigh

I like the interpretation of dark road….now THAT is creepy. And I usually associate dark with creepy. Dunno why?!!!! Guess ’cause ‘dark’ is nighttime.

Mine’s posted. Stop by if you can. You can see a dark sinister creature. [kidding of course] Have a super weekend.
