Autumn is here.

Rob

Brilliant!

[Rob C]

Thank you, armand, I have these conversations with myself quite frequently; they run along the lines of this: well old man, what did you do for us both during your life?

The best I can tell the kid is this: I found the perfect wife for us; you must forgive me for everything else.

The kid smiles.

Ah, muntanela, that's one of the tragedies of communication: words and graphics can't always express what our feelings do. Focussing a long lens manually is another such: using af to do the same robs one of that plastic feeling of change, of flight almost.

Ah, maybe that's why I like my older af lenses, the focus is still slow enough to see it happening

Your emotional response time must be faster than mine; I still need the hand of change to catch the buzz. It's what honest women have been complaining about since Eve: that's why she offered an apple whilst looking at a snake.

It is Samhain, Calan Gaeaf, Hallowe'en - a time to remember the dead. Light a candle, raise a dram of whisky to their memory. In time, we will become the ancestors too.

[Rob C]

Very nice picture, Bill. Bags of mood!

Nice shot, armand.

I am hoping this is not a stretch for this section but while they are urban landscapes, I think they might get panned in the regular landscape forum - then again, they're likely to get panned here, too :-)

For those of you under 55ish, windwing or sidewing windows were a mainstay on almost all American cars, even though I think they originated with the guys across the pond.

[Rob C]

Panned? Not at all. And yes, they are not landscape (to me) but so what? They transcend what that genre can often come to mean, and get into the personal, which I enjoy.

As the actress said to the bishop, keep it up!

Everything originated across the Pond.

Superb shot, Bill.

Whatever box they fit in, I like them. Grew up with my father's collections of (General Motors) Holden trucks, all of which had the swiveling quarter-vent windows, excellent when you wanted a raucous blast of wind in the face on a hot Sydney summer's day. They were a weak point for breaking into a car, not sure if that's why they disappeared, or it was just to lower production costs, or because the manufacturers had to start building ventilation systems that were capable of defogging windscreens: they were gone by '68.
