Left over from last summer's crop and feeling the passage of time.

Chuck,

This one has some of the feeling you are getting in your "Effervescent" image.

Eric - that's a bit scary.  I just got a chuckle from this one.  :)

Not Café de Flore (sorry Rob), but Café de France, in Lyon.

Graham,

People really are the most fascinating of all the animals!

I expect that each species thinks similarly of its own... I think we are actually rather fortunate to be living in Europe. I find our own types quite remarkable - not for being 'exotic' as in far away lands, but in their little ways and facial expressions of distaste, resignation and even bewilderment. Lots of the latter in the mirror, as a matter of fact.

Do you ever have the feeling that you're here to finish something before your curtain comes down, but can't quite nail what the hell it might be that you're supposed to be completing?

Rob

Funny you should say that... I'm reading Frans de Waal's book on animal intelligence, and he talks about how as a species we choose to see the things we're good at as the most important, whereas a squirrel would see us as woefully stupid about remembering a few hundred hiding places for nuts...
I also just watched a video of a lecture by Gary Winogrand where one could imagine that there was no photography outside the US:
https://www.lensculture.com/articles/garry-winogrand-garry-winogrand-visions-from-the-street-portraits-of-america

Otherwise... after a couple of years working under a psychopath boss with narcissistic personality disorder, I lost most interest in my day job... as of 3 weeks, I'm working for a human again, and it's taking some time to re-adapt to not expecting an attack hidden behind every innocent question. Anyway, during my puragtory I decided I needed to move on to a different phase of my life. Not sure what it is yet... probably not sorting out the connection between gravity and quantum field theory :-) Anyway, a couple more years and I'll be over the "can walk away now" savings threshold, at which point the question will really demand to be answered.

It's pretty clear that whatever it is, it will go unnoticed in the wider world, which is an interesting challenge to the ego. For the moment, I'm practicing ;-)

Thanks for the link, Graham - I'll watch it later in the day - at the moment I have to hang out the washing that's just stopped going round and around (Chuck Berry?)...

Beware the fuck off money: it's never as big a heap as you imagined. I forgot two things: possibility of banks ceasing to pay interest; the rising cost of living that the official figues lie, and tell me isn't happening. It sure is, and has. Oh a third: is hobby able to replace work? And yet a fourth! Life for one on one pension is not the same as life for two on two of them. The mutual constants are very high!

By chance was your WB set to AWB? If yes, that could easily be the reason.

Peter

I just got the time to check and you are right, that was the only difference.

Nope, my own soudtrack is perfectly happy to provide the lyrics!

Great shot!

Rob

P.S. I'd just like to add: I think that if this sort of image is made with infinitely fine grain/lack of noise, utter sharpness etc, etc. then it fails to provide the feeling of humanity. I like to see the look of struggle, of happenstance; the little kiss of Lady Luck taken on the fly!
