  1. Have you read Adam Gopnik's "Paris to the Moon"?
    Click on the first image, and meet his brother Blake, the art critic. ,-)

  2. Wonderful poem in soft colors.
    My absolute favorite was the dress hanging in the window....
    but I loved all the others too.

  6. What an eye you have for unconsidered trifles!

    And thanks for the link to the consideration of the naked and the nude. A fine piece.

    It brought to mind the late Lewis Grizzard's comment on the subject:

    -- "Naked means you ain't got no clothes on. Nekkid means you ain't got no clothes on and you're up to something!"

    These are wonderful photos! I think the dress is my favorite, however, I like the repetitive shadows of the urn in the first photo and the colors in the second photo. Happy Saturday, my friend. Hope it was a beautiful day in Vienna.

  8. I would very much like to see the woman in her dress that dwells behind those bars. Great photos as usual.

  9. I love each and every one of these shots. The first one with the shadow perspective.. the seed pod is amazing... the dress hanging behind the frosted window.. all just amazing. You are such a talent.

  16. I had the same thought as willow, a dress behind bars, imprisoned for what fashion crime?
