Another of those mysterious line-ups. With equipment cart! I do like the contrast between action and inaction. Attention and ignored.

I may be in that zone just now where you overthink some things (or maybe just too much Aussie CabSav...), but this image seems to be inverted to me...

I see a girl on a bike who is the only one who "appears" to be moving in the image, however...if she's cycling on sand, that's gonna be difficult to do...she should be motionless and in perfect focus...the guys with their boards should be the blurry people.

I know however, that the girl is obviously cycling on a boardwalk, or pathway, but because it's not visible, it throws me completely...

...and the other back-to-front thing...why emigrate to the Sunshine State, and spend your time in a cupboard beneath the stairs, in the dark, with a basin of Rodinal...????

Time for another bottle methinks....

That's Mary Poppins on her flying bike, Dougie. (What are you drinking?...I want some. )

I think Douglas is right. I as a Viking to the bone, drinking mjød with fungi, sees it the same way and on top of that, done with an Olympus. Well well!

Now don't get greedy and besides I'd worry 'bout your brains, more so then than ever
