Bernard, two things:
a. happy to see you didn't walk away from LuLa as you'd been considering;
b. as my wife used to say, for a photographer, you (I!) don't seem to notice very much! I give in: I see one person, alone on the cellphone (title for a brand new C&W song I have yet to write) but can't find another lonely soul. Please?

Point a.: I thoroughly agree.
Point b.: The women sitting at the desk, with hand on face, either reading a book or a tablet, also looks lonely to me. And the happy couple in the distance just suggests the possibility of ending the loneliness, if you happen to meet the right person.

SHIT!
It's the same problem as with stamper's pix: too bloody big for my 19" monitor!
I didn't even think of scrolling - I never have to with most images, and it's the last thing comes to mind. I don't even have those added people on the right, unscrolled! Of course I couldn't see a second 'phone-obsessive!
I thought LuLa had a convention of 1000 pixies max. size of largest side. Making anything larger adds nothing but bulk. If it bombs at 1000 it ain't gonna grow wings just because it's larger.
Bah! Humbug!

It's that creeping inflation, Rob.
Even if you live on an island, the price of everything creeps up, and the size of inages on LuLa creeps up, and the Creeps keep winning elections.

If you live on an island like this one, everything starts from a higher level due not only to inflation but because almost everything has to be flown or shipped in unless it's a potato. But even then, the seed potatoes come from Scotland! I know this not because I have any abliity on or with the land, as it were, but because our favourite market stall used to have sacks with the Scottish stuff witten on them. On asking, the girl told me why. I didn't know that. So yes, even then my knowledge was extremely limited. However, as you know, I'm not one to allow little details like that to stand in my way or discourage: I just go ahead and do it (whatever it may be) or fall on my ass. So far, the latter zone is relatively unscarred. (AFAIK). I don't go in for regular inspections or anthing like that, so I just take my word for it.
Over the past few days I've become less sure about election winners. I see a person who may work a positive economic miracle for you, and, at the same time, one who appears perfectly capable of bringing another Crash, both of the banks and the world environment. But why be surprised? Even on this esteemed site there are those who deny this, that or the other with regards to the environment.
Interestingly enough, it appears that a certain son-in-law is also deeply involved with land development in Palestinian areas occupied by Israel. Nepotism is clearly the new agenda. I suppose that will cause even more hundreds of deaths of people who just refuse to lie down and be screwed out of their lands. (Of course, that makes them terrorists, you see.) Twenty-five hundred new homes seems a nice set of contracts... oh well, that's business! That's politics! That's politicians!
Doesn't it make one proud to be a first-world citizen?

Thanks, interesting to see that the image only works half as well when you only see half of it. ;)
My initial intent was the sitting woman and the man walking, both alone with their smart phones although they are only a few meters away, haven't noticed each others yet, but for what we know may fall in love at first sight if they took the time to look around them.
The couple in the background is interesting too, thanks Eric, but I must confess that I hadn't considered them when I picked the title. ;)
Cheers,
Bernard
p.s.: and thanks for your kind words about me still being around!

Nice work Bernard.

Modern, linked-in people use a dating agency, not the random, unreliable and not researched-to-destruction meeting of eyes across a crowed room paradigm: that might be construed as romantic or otherwise oddly oldie-worldly. It would never do in this Utopia of bluebird messages. Caesar had it right: use your thumb every time!
I wonder if Armageddon will be announced via social media... or is a three-minute warning still thought to be better? Be sure to share and like!
