“the visitor from outer space”

the rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday ;-) … and follow the tag.

#sundaygimp

(and also #Sunday-photo-edit )

Note: if you do not use gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

A quotation by Homer

All things are best when done without excess: it is as wrong to hurry off a guest who does not wish to leave as to detain a man who longs for home. Kind care for those who stay — and warm farewells for those who go.

[ἶσόν τοι κακόν ἐσθ᾽, ὅς τ᾽ οὐκ ἐθέλοντα νέεσθαι

ξεῖνον ἐποτρύνει καὶ ὃς ἐσσύμενον κατερύκει.

χρὴ ξεῖνον παρεόντα φιλεῖν, ἐθέλοντα δὲ πέμπειν.]

Homer (fl. 7th-8th C. BC) Greek author

The Odyssey [Ὀδύσσεια], Book 15, l. 72ff [Menelaus to Telemachus] (c. 700 BC) [tr. Mandelbaum (1990)]
