I do it my way, you’ve chosen your way: Mixing the two songs MY WAY (Frank Sinatra) and THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (Woody Guthrie, below a version by Sharon Jones) I would like to sing so to my guitar (maybe I’ll make an upload to my youtube channel). But the photographer Thomas Lieser, Vienna, hit the nail faster and not so complicated visualizing this topic “ACCEPTANCE” / “IDENTITY” by featuring two women sitting together on a railway station’s bench – dressed very differently …

I really celebrate the fact that those two women are SITTING ON THE SAME BENCH!!!! Would that we could all just relax together in this world, no matter how different our customs, traditions, beliefs. Thank you for much for this image at this particular season where a central message is, “Peace, Goodwill to all men on Earth!.”

Very nice photo to illustrate “I do it my way.” At least, for the woman wearing the very colorful shirt. I hope the woman in black got to choose her outfit too. If she did, more power to her. Respect the difference!
