Thank you sir, as it is your good self Ivar, the one with pointy things, I shall treat you to the full glories of off the quay
with less B+W and sorry but it is another Merrill, the same one in fact. The best camera ever made ;)

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone.....and what an improvement, as I glanse through the best viewfinder there is, digitally, compared to a stuck window in your face!
But the murkey one is to be preferred I have to ad. Have you noticed that there is a new Merrill on the market with exchangeable lenses for it. Was launched the other day! Something for me is it? Looks a little strange though.

Ever had the thought that it may be that everything else is strange ;) and strange may be the attractive attribute. After all what can be more strange that people who grows horns from their heads. Need I say more. I am not buying any more cameras however lovely and strange they are , I have enough, more than I can carry, The Merrill's though are the stars and without repeating myself the best camera's ever made :D Some of the time anyway :oops:

I have many thoughts about much strangeness, but should I reveal some of these thoughts to strange people, they may appear very strange in their strange minds I gather or may make them stranger than they originally were, even the ones who grow horns wherever they are to be found, strangely enough! I quite often see homo sapiens who seem to appear out of California with horns on their heads and they are not at all attractive. Cameras can be beautiful and attractive toys which have a tendency to deceive people into believing that they are the ones that produce images and not the strange creatures behind them. Now that is strange. As strange as I am, I still am more than content with my beautiful mistresses as I call them. I always exploit them to my advantage.

Beautiful, Julian. I've had similar shots in my site before, but they haven't come off as well as these. The first is perfect.

Thank you Rob. The boats go to and from frequently, it is only a matter of getting to the end of the quay. I've quite a collection of Frazier's slip images, perhaps I can do a sequel of Off the Quay.

The fact that I have the best camera in the world and it is better than your mistress and that I dont have anything to do with the images, whilst having a lot of tongue in my cheek ;) and an expression of just how lovely it is to have a forum where such things are not taken seriously :D
 
When I saw this impulsive outburst of an exclamation I had to cool myself down.:( Now after a large dosage of an sedative medicinal aid, as in ice cream as I am quite calm by now, I had to read this once more. I hope that you are aware of the fact that you by such an exclamation acuse all photographers who have appeared with their exquisite imagery in magazines as National Geographic to name one, that they are not proper photographers.:mad: As well as try to drag other big names in photography, into a grey mass of mud, calling them not proper photographers. I am appalled and can only think that you in such an incident, must have been intoxicated of some sort.:rolleyes: Since you also try to ridicule me and insult me in such a manner.:confused: I am devastated and shall seek comfort in Helga from now on.:oops: A man with such creative talent who is modelling in colour, can stoop to such a low level. My horns are in shock and seem to be in a stance I feel I can't elaborate on.:eek: My good man, what were you thinking of? Do you really mean that Michelangelo should have painted in shades of grey?:D:D

Hope you did not take it too seriously?
 
I made a mistake and read it to my boss which I never should have done. Now I am left out in the cold and have to convey my apologies to Julian through here so that she can see that I've done it.
I think it's time to leave this forum now as I'm not being understood neither here nor at home. Probably why the doctor operated on my nose this morning. I stick it into too much trouble. No consolation at home though!:(

Awww poor you, it all sounds quite painful and troubled. Knowing the Nosreman he'll bounce back quicker than a bouncy ball.

Here's a typical Viking. Granted, the image was sourced through the web out of California, but based on his headgear I'm sure the chap is Norwegian. :p
 
Two fine images, Julian. I like the colors in number two but number one works better for me due mostly to the relative positioning of the two vessels.
