Very nice and a lot going on. I have been thinking about doing a project about people at a bus shelter waiting for a bus. This will spur me on.

Love it - can just feel that slush seeping through the soles of my shoes and sending shivers up the spine! As Stamper says, there's a whole project waiting to be done on, well, waiting...

Hi Sandro,
I like your "Pleasurable confusion"...In my painting I call it the "Visual Tangle".
Thanks for your kind words.

Stamper and Seamus,

 Thank you both. I have been doing a series on this bus stop since last september and find it an
 endless stage for all kinds of human interaction. The visual layering is what I enjoy the most about the motif.

Terrific image. I really like the framing, and that the right-most portion is NOT so tangled as the rest. Great....
Thx for sharing!

You're on a roll, Peter. It's gonna be a great bus-stop series.

Amen!
I have been struggling to find words to describe how I felt when I first saw this. I think Sandro said it best: This "pleasurable confusion" is extremely rich.
