Third of three pix from a July trip to Disneyworld, this is a tile rooftop spotted by VF in the Morocco area of Epcot.
I am struck by the unity of the tiles as they fit and work together. Kind of reminds me of the positive, unified spirit of the Am3 community as we fit and work together in our places here.

@Myst: How do you say, "Merci beaucoup, mon ami" in Italian?
@Craiger: Thanks.
@Manuela Photography: The repetition, the colors, and the textures are what grabbed me on this one.

Thank you, VF, for this most apt theme and picture. :) Looking at the picture itself, I like the earthy green and brown, and whoa, there sure is symmetry and geometry in this one, in a lovely outdoorsy sort of way!! :)
Your narrative is so thoughtful and meaningful. Personally, it certainly brings to mind yet another favourite (!) passage of our household :) , 1 Corinthians 12:14-26
"Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.
If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. "
Thank you so much again for sharing these precious thoughts with us, VF. You are a real blessing to all of us here in Am3. :)

@Rebecca: Wow, I feel honored that you not only like this image, but have enhanced it far beyond my meager efforts with your own comment and inclusion from the writings of St. Paul. Thank you for taking time to share in this way.
I am encouraged and humbled by what you have said.

I was at Disney Land 6 years ago this week! First time ever (at the tender age of 21 ;) ). "Morocco" was my favorite part. Thanks for the memory with the great picture. :)

@MaryB: Thank you MaryB. I thought I'd responded to your very nice comment earlier, but this must have been an oversight. Your visits here each day are a highlight. Have many blessings on Friday.
