If a New Year begins, we usually also take a little time to look back. We are all survivors, some of us not. And from Titanic to Zeppelin, from Russian submarine to US airplanes also things every year discovered their final countdown. So this photo became a great metaphor for me, that everything has an end.

He comments with humor: “An old TWA 707 cockpit, with some 707 landing gear alongside. It’s an unnatural pairing… kind of like having your ankles up near your ears…”
We are all survivors

If the old TWA 707 cockpit and landing gear can survive a few more years, maybe someone will use them to restore (or repair) a 707. But, you’re right. Nothing lasts forever. We “survive” as long as possible though!

Triumphant, though injured, survivors. We all fit that description in one way or another, if we just look at ourselves in the proper light. Let us join together as survivors on this planet. Let survivorship be our connection.

Excellent shot. Love the juxtaposition with that blue/white sky. And even though its an end for the plane, the parts will get used for something! I suppose so will our flesh and bones find another use…

I agree – it is the perfect metaphor for the end of something.
So that we can begin again. Just like the New Year.
Great …
