Peace within, peace with others and peace with nature!
all pictures have powerful message though some of them show many form and expression of peace while others might show conflict.
the picture that most represent peace for me was the 5th pict, because it’s show connection, and doing something calming you and make you focus (mindful) with the present moment
For me the photo who represent the most peace for me is probably the first one, you can see the word love a heart a rainbow and a multitude of language that probably goes along with the whole ambient of the picture
number 1
For me the pictures represents differents levels of peace :
The river : Peace for/with yourself
The wall and knitting : Peace with the others and your close environment.
The three others ones, Peace you want for yurself and the others : global peace.
