At the park this afternoon even the trees & vines were getting into it.

Finally, I went inside to wait for the train.

Emergence...

Ha, yes

What was that about lack of total control someone wrote somewhere?

Employing my favorite cinema aspect ratio.

Neat Eric. Who's calling? I can still hear something in that empty field. This reminds me of why I finally bought a cell phone.  I would grab some tissues and fight through the cob webs and lift the receiver only to hear dead silence. Another time the phone machine took my last two quarters but would not process the call. The operator came on and wanted my credit card number for 50 cents!!!!!!  I slammed the phone on the powerful steel hook, but it was solid and would never break. Instead, as my friends always remind me, I broke down and bought a cell phone. Se la Vie.

Love the title, Rob.

Poly Leaving, at least. But maybe he'll come around again...

Let's hope not! Bad enough getting ordinary flu at this time of year.

Like your shot - that movement next to the woman in red makes it for me.

In the Shadows. Originally shot 12 years ago. Reinterpreted on this rainy day.

Funny thing: I have learned to enjoy rainy days again. Not only is the light more kindly, the incentive to cheer up the self makes my mind turn to photography. Not that it ever goes anywhere much else anymore, but you probably know what I mean. So-called shitty weather makes images assume a different character that is far more interesting than solid blue up top, with the commercially inspired token white cloud. When I was still working, my wife and I referred to those as Tony Stone skies.

Rob,
It's my favorite light...

And you have made good use of it, too. Can hardly wait to move back to a city.

You have city plans...in the near future?

Have had them for a couple of years, but they depend totally on the sale of my apartment, which is never an easy thing to do these days, because most of the stuff up here in the north of the island will be bought by folks seeking holiday summer homes, a majority of such buyers being non-Spanish nationals. It's pretty much exclusively a holiday area with very little other industry to support demand and provide the money with which to purchase. There are plenty of young people with desires, but not the loot with which to do it, a huge problem in Southern Europe as a whole, as far as I can determine.

In a perfect world, what city would be your escape?

Rome.

Next, perhaps Milan, but I remember nothing about it except fog. However, the potential must be good! Cannes had a lot of good-looking women, so perhaps that would feed the camera's appetite for pulchritude.

That perfect world would also, of course, have to include a perfect bank account, or I may as well just stay where I am.

Rome I like very much...I have cousins that live in Milan, so not there. Sort of kidding.
Perfect bank account. Would that be a bank account where the balance never shrinks? That would be perfect!!
