Theme Thursday, a weekly photomeme and one of the longest existing weekly thematic photographers' forum and submission site, is now on its third year! This site has helped me a lot in making this fascinating hobby a weekly fare. I have submitted 73 pictures to the site and made ten times that much friends around the world. Here's more to Theme Thursday (raise wine glass) and more friends on line (toast!).

Bastille Day

Bastille's Day
Bastille Day, 2002
Arc D'Triomphe, Paris, France

In 1789, and as it is in 2004, the significance of people power is deeply rooted in everyone's history. Bastille Day was the end of a monarchy and the beginning of a republic for France. It was the time that rule was transferred from the King to the people.

With the decision to pull-out, we, Filipinos, are starting to feel we are being heard by our own government.

Of course, to the consternation of the US.

Today, we can say, we are celebrating our own Bastille Day.
