@sagguel88 - Fun idea!

Huanglong National Park, Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, China

The top of my list for places that I would like to visit before I kick the bucket.

Royal Gorge Bridge & Park, Cañon City, Colorado, United States

The first place I had ever gone white water rafting. I'd love to go back and do it again!

Hang Sơn Đoòng, Xuân Trạch, Bố Trạch District, Quang Binh Province, Vietnam

World's Largest Cave (with its own rainforest inside). That's reason enough for me. 🤣

sexualizing children

no thanks

There's nothing sexy about these children pictures.

She has other pictures that I wouldn't post. They are her own kids, out in the country.

It always doesn't have to be about sexualizing children. Celebrity kids posted on Instagram in a bathtub, can be taken the same way- Get your mind out the gutter.

She's adulting those children - with cigarrette in hand

pedophiles must love her

I'm not a pedophile, so I don't think in those psychotic ways.

This pic could be taken the same way. It's art, I don't see how a cigarette is sexualizing anyone unless they are inappropriately undressed.

And don't forget, folks, to only submit photos with colour saturation that's off the charts... 😉

I seen a bit of the conversation that was going on so I did a reverse image search to figure out more about the photographer and the images. The information and controversy surrounding them is actually a pretty interesting read.

I think it was a good choice to share. The whole point of art is to evoke something; no?

I think this does just that. It dances on the line that separates acceptable and unacceptable. It gets people thinking. It causes people to have some emotional reaction.

I also hate parents who overshare pics of their children on social media

they seem to have no life but their kids

Fair statement. Not just this one but all of them that you've expressed towards these images. If you feel a certain way nobody can argue that.

In truth I get both sides of both of your views towards these images. I think that's what makes me, personally, appreciate the pictures though. Some aspects of them do make me a bit uneasy (like such a young child holding a cigarette), but at the same time there is an intrinsic beauty about them.

The imagery is raw in nature. They're not making any excuses they're not trying to be anything other than what they are. They're not seeking permission nor forgiveness.

In a way that's kind of just like real life. It's raw it makes no excuses it seeks no permission and asks for no forgiveness. I think that's kind of the point of them though. It is a representation of what life is.

That's just how I see it. I still understand and appreciate your position on it nonetheless.

Did you take some of these pictures? Are they close to your home, like a vacation area of your home?

Very nice landscapes. they almost look like there is no access to the water.

I wish, but no. Haven't been there in decades.

It's the greek island Crete.

Oh wow! Make so much sense to see the sea from the high land. Beautiful spot!

Very important in terms of history and past culture as well.

It's minoan culture is often seen as the first advanced civilization on european soil.

I looked up more of the town just now, it's stunning. I will add this on the bucket list and pair it with Lycia,Turkey for a nice trip. 🙂 I want to go to the Turkish baths so bad!
