It was a good summer



This is a picture of the sky over Roundwood Park a few weeks ago.

This is a photo of nothing! The color is beautiful but if I open PaintBrush and I draw a rectangle and then color it in a light-blue I'll get exactly the same results...

I am looking at the photo and I am trying to see sky, but all I see is a blue rectangle. It does not inspire me in any way, shape or form... And I wonder... Should it inspire me?

ps: I love all your other photos!

I'm thinking of entering the complete series for the Anthea Turner prize.

For some strange reason I found this photograph to be excruciatingly funny. It just cracked me up. Guess I should get out more.

I have another one like this. I'm tempted to post it. It's a different one, but it looks the same. I'll leave it to your imagination.

you are quite the comedian.
What would you think of this? Just finished watching a new t.v. programme called "Six Feet Under". It's about a family in the funeral parlour business. Episode 1 starts off with the father driving the new hearse and being hit by a bus. He's killed instantly of course. And it's Christmas Eve. Well, Christmas Eve in California which means it looks like summer. We soon find out that son no. 1 ran away to Seattle to escape having to go into the family business. He's made very little of his life since then. He flies in to spend Christmas with the family. Son no.2 felt obliged to go into the family business, foregoing law school (bitterness here). He is a closet homosexual. The daughter is a rebellious teenager who does drugs with her friends and drives around in an old hearse which has been painted lime green.
Shuffle, shuffle.
Seems that Mum has been having an affair for years with a fellow she met at church. The sons collide and hurl abuse at each other - something about the alpha male syndrome. The dead father keeps appearing here and there and smiling. Memories intrude on the narrative as well. Lots of dark (not quite black) humour, four letter words, etc. As this episode finished the shuffling had become a little more vigorous which promises new surprises next week. Interspersed in the main drama there were joke commercials about embalming products.
All in all, rather self-consciously outrageous. But that's Hollywood.

Yes, I've heard about that - haven't seen it yet. It sounds dead funny.
