Sometimes, when I curate an open-themed week, I find that the work submitted aligns itself in a certain way.  This time around, however, that was not the case, so I present to you here the photographs that spoke to me the loudest, arranged for your Monday by my Sunday afternoon mind.

Next week Ruby Falls will be curating the theme of Friendship. Share a photo of a friend who has touched your life, a moment of friendship, or one that captures the essence of what friendship means to you.  Submit your work here .
