Description
This is one of my favorite photos taken of a group of men standing on a rooftop in New Orleans, Louisiana. I happened to look up and saw them being so still that I originally thought they were statues on the rooftop. I kept watching, trying to see if there were any movement, but saw nothing. Finally decided to take a photo of the "statues" in such an unusual place. When bringing the camera back down, the figure on the far left very kindly removed his hat for just a moment! I waved to him when I saw him do that and he waved back! Apparently, he was watching me, too! Curiosity on both parts! Thought this image would work well with a verse of scripture.
Thank you for the feature in the following groups:

Something about it made me think a scripture verse would go well with this, Brian. Deciding which one to use was the hardest part! Thanks for your visit, comment and FL!
