This village is the perfect deserted one during the lunch hour(s).

I like to see the look of struggle,

You know the story the Stravinsky deliberately set the opening bassoon solo of the Rite of Spring across the bridge to make it hard to play? He wanted the player's struggle to be heard, to represent the struggle of a new plant pushing out of the soil.

Apparently he was upset that technical skills have improved so much that most decent bassoonists can knock it out as a party trick.

The other amusing anecdote is that the dancers hated Nijinsky's choreography. However
"When on his return Diaghilev enquired about Le Sacre and learnt of its enormous unpopularity, he merely remarked that it was an excellent sign. It proved the composition to be strikingly original."

It don't work that way these days :-)

Yes; and looking at the sterility of some Leica Mono stuff elsewhere on LuLa, you can see the point illustrated large! Dee-effin'-ded!

Slow day…

Looking at the thumbnail, the first thing I saw was a close-up of a small barge going through a narrow canal. Glaucoma can bring you some funny moments, too!

On expanding, the woman is fascinating: I see her, many years younger, leaning against a wall somewhere, her boyfriend up close in front of her... celebrating. Face is so important.

Gosh, Rob. I had to take off my glasses to get the nice blurry effect on that one.   :D

Life's a blur, Eric. The older I get the faster is screeches round corners. Thing is, sometimes there are no corners when it screeches. That's when I realise it just needs some more snake oil. Plenty of that around!

Hey, Peter!

Congrats on the millennium. The first one's easy, just the opposite of the milliions.

Much nicer than the crime scenes you find on TV. I especially like the second one (as an abstract).

Tell Me a Story, Father

Sometimes, out amongst the red rock, you begin to see figures that once may have been alive. Or perhaps you're just hallucinating! It's easy to see how the ancients may have worshipped these stones, especially as the light changes.

A kiss in time, David! Nice one. The shot - no idea about how they felt their kiss to be.
