Home should be an oratorio of the memory,

old remembered joy.

Home is where, when you cross its threshold,

A  home is one of the most sacred of places.
It is a sanctuary into which men flee from the
world’s perils and alarms.
It is a resting-place to which at close of day the weary
retire to gather new strength for the
battle and toils of tomorrow.
It is the place where love learns its lessons,
where life is schooled into discipline and strength,
where character is molded.
– J.R. Miller

Nor need we power or splendor,
wide hall or lordly dome;
the good, the true, the tender-
these form the wealth of home.

Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
they have to take you in.

Mizoram, India

It takes a lot of living to make a house a home
It doesn’t make any difference how rich you get to be
How much your chairs and tables cost, how great your luxury
It isn’t home to you though it be the palace of a king,
Until somehow your soul is wrapped round everything.
– Paraphrase of Edgar Guest poem, Home

Thank you Stevebhai once again for these beautiful images and quotes.
“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.”

Stunning photos as usual. It is cool to see a mix of close up, interior shots mixed with outside shots that show a sense of place. Thanks for another inspiring post. Happy shooting in 2020!

I was so so happy to see this picture. The lone house in the background is my home. The house doesn’t exist anymore and I have hardly any pictures of it.
Thank you Steve for this shot, for bringing me back memories. If you have more pictures of this place then please please share.
