Weekly Photo Challenge: INDULGE - the wordpress staff writes about this week's topic: "...You can indulge in moments, feelings, emotions, places, and more... ” So this photo came in my mind: a snap shot after a date; she - trying to dive deeply into the feelings, to indulge all those new strong emotions, not to drift away in the sober refresh button of a morning without him...

the same woman, featured in a tango story, view the slide show video by frizztext, photos by Barbara Fritze, music by Lutz Deterra: “Rue parnasse”, dancers: Beate and Franco, location: abandoned ELBA factory, Wuppertal, the city of Pina Bausch
As you can discover in the slide show (the photo is part of it in the very end) “Lonesome Factory Tango”: My wife Barbara has chosen a very ugly location, an abandoned factory hall (in my hometown Wuppertal) for the tango meeting – not, as usual, a golden palace with many mirrors and a rich audience to applause. They are alone, very alone, with their feelings of new love – and that’s the center of tango mood, isn’t it? To own nothing – only the feeling you have found each other? The story behind is: this two human beings (Beate and Franco) married six months after this meeting, aged nearly fifty, composing a new patchwork family (of course my wife had the job again, to shoot the wedding ceremonials …)

“… to indulge in curiosity about war ships…”
frizz-comment: to indulge or not to indulge, that’s the question, isn’t it?
To indulge wars – it is not easy (my natural language is German) to understand the meaning of INDULGE correctly.
Maybe I’m making wrong connections? Is it possible to have a concept NOT TO INDULGE?
Not to indulge wars – or one’s painful humor or attitude?
Is it a violation of political correctness and dedicated optimism
to have only the idea not to indulge?
INDULGE: I often think horses have too much
(actually we have a movie in our cinemas in Germany about war horses)
– but sometimes horses make a kind of revolution vs. permanent indulgence …

Hello Webmaster, I noticed that https://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/weekly-photo-challenge-indulge/ is ranking pretty low on Google and has a low Google PageRank. Now the Google PageRank is how Google is able to see how relevant your webpage is compared to all the other webpages online, if you cannot rank high at the top of Google, then you will NOT get the traffic you need. Now usually trying to get to the top of Google costs hundreds if not thousands of dollars and very highly optimized targeted marketing campaigns that takes a team of experts months to achieve. However, we can show you how to get to the top of Google with no out of pocket expenses (free traffic), no stupid ninja tricks, no silly mind control techniques, and this will be all white hat with no blackhat software or tactics that could possibly land you on bad terms with Google and put you in the dreaded “Google Sandbox”. We’ll show you how to easily capture all the targeted traffic you need, for free, multiple ways to land fast (not months) first-page rankings in Google and other major search engines (Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc), even show you strategies on how to earn daily commissions just try Ranking Top of Google, please check out our 5 minute video.
