Looks closely and you will see he is wearing an ankle bracelet. I had never seen one up close before, I was so struck by this. I was looking at this view, something so free, something everyone can enjoy. When I saw this guy I thought, maybe he is thinking something totally different.
Maybe he's thinking...I wish I was free.
Maybe he was thinking....I have a long road ahead before I am free
or maybe he was asking God for help.
The girl he was with gave him a hug. Then they walked back to the car. He was only there for 5 minutes.
It made me so grateful for the life I have. That view is a right, but also a privilege. I'm going to hope and pray he turns things around so that he can stand there and feel free too. I want that for him. Don't you?
I saw a post like this on a new favorite blog of mine Simple Thoughts from Paige Knudsen Photography. She did a post called "Beauty and Laughter at 96". Check it out!

Wow, what a touching moment!
Sad, it must have been minor crimes for him o be out & about. Whatever he did, I hope he can get back on track. It boils down to choices. Very moving photo.
Great post. I hope he is able to turn things around
