Missing The Point

[Pete Askew]

Can't help but feel they'd missed something!

The bottom of their pants?
Nice shot!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks. And why is her left trouser leg shorter and his right, that's what I want to know!

 

[Brian Moore]

That camera of yours produces a lovely color palate and softness, Pete.

 

[Paul Lange]

No, I can't see what you are getting at Pete?

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Thanks. And why is her left trouser leg shorter and his right, that's what I want to know!

I see that as symmetry.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Love the guys' reflections...and the carefully placed ashtray...the line of tourists marching, ant-like, to the Acropolis (top of the wall, upper left) if that's what they are (?)...and a few other things that catch the attention. Nice one, Pete.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Rob's got his eagle eyes on today - well spotted!

Those pants are a tragedy, a Greek tragedy at that!

I'll get my tunic....

 

[Pete Askew]

Thank you all.

Tourists indeed Rob. The whole complex in 'The Rock' is the Acropolis. The main building you can see, and the most famous bit, is the Parthenon; the temple to Athena.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Of course. I knew the Parthenon was the temple. Just forgot, and called it the Acropolis. I hang my head in shame.

How is the Greek economy these days? Recovering?

 

[Pete Askew]

No obvious signs in the city but colleagues there say that small businesses, especially, are having very real problems. Still some way to go I'm afraid.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Lovely colours and tones Pete. As to why the trousers are shorter, it maybe they are not and it is the legs are longer

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Julian and you could be on to something there.
