Brilliant. And also, how interesting. I really like the colour version although the illusion of a shadow sitting on the bend in the mono one is rather compelling I think.

Thanks, Pete. I like the evidence of the head on the rope. There seems to be some connection with the rope and my neck, but I don't want to speculate on it too far

Great idea Rob but are you wearing flared trousers?
Rob MacKillop

Not at all. Fairly parallel, I'd say. Are you casting nasturtiums, Mr Lange?!

That color shot's a stoater, Rob. (It's been a while since I saw bell-bottom troosers by the way!

I think I'll buy a pair now.
PS So glad you are not calling them pants. Bell-bottomed Pants would be such a strange concept...

Another cracking image Rob you've found a rich vein of late. The shadow on the rope completes the image for me. Good idea well executed.

Well executed - LOL!

I've changed my mind Rob. The B&W shot is the stoater. The color one is merely a cracker.

You vacillating varmint!

I may be a varmint, but I ain't no vacillator!
No wait,...I may be a vacillator, but I ain't no varmint!
Wait,...

I hope the artist isn't diving into the future headlessly.

No. I'm lying on the couch, reading an autobiography of John Cleese, which Santa brought me. It's quite interesting, and a little bit amusing.

Yes I noticeed that one, but since we do not exchange gifts at Christtmas, I did not get it. Well I did not mention to any one that I wanted it either. Maybe I should buy it then, just to help him pay back his wife.

It's an easy read...good for days when there is nothing else to do.
