I love the young, reflected guy between the two bent heads. He thinks it's all behind him, and has no clue about what lies ahead. As for the vase, there could be the remains of a cremation in there!

Terrific.

Have not even noticed that (the sandwiched reflections, that is)... now that you mentioned it, it adds another layer to the image for me.

I heartily concur. :)

Used to love that town -- before it became so "progressive" that it sort of floated away from the mainland. There are more where this came from. Here's one.

Mike.
