December Image of the Month

Happy New Year to all my readers!

I decided to go with just two photos from December, both taken on the same ramble. More from that ramble here. Yes, I'm working on Image of the Year.

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!"
-- Randy Pausch

My question: Is pain a brick wall? You can discuss in the comments section of that blog posting.
