The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves.


So that's the last of them, and hopefully I will have relaxed by the time this goes up. Which did you like best? I'm happy for the feedback, as it might sharpen my eye for what draws people's eye and what might not.

Is the woman in the hat taking photos of the place still there? She seemed like she was settling in for the month on Sunday...so many pictures she took (if there was any film in t'camera, I wasn't sure)

I like the one you posted at 4:30, the second one down from the top. It has more color and movement, somehow.

Hope you've gotten over whatever it was! :-)

Yep, the third one.
It's the clarity of the light, the crispness of the reflection and the drama of the contrast of the dark clouds.
Although, I think the first one nearly works.

I think I like this fourth one the best. I like when the photographer is brave enough to take a picture that is mostly either sky, with the ostensibly interesting bit right at the bottom, or this one where the interest is at the top, but then there's the load of water and the reflection.

But it looks like I'm in a minority here :)

Miles, I’m not sure that I am familiar with that woman!

Saretta, that seems to be the winner, and no, I have gotten even angrier about it. If people knew what I know, they’d all be as mad as hell too! (Or they should be!)

FF, that does seem to be the consensus pick.

Jackie, that is probably my favourite on reflection too. I do like to mess about with form and composition. Typing that, I’ve decided to go with my gut and post a very radical choice for my photo today!

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke

In dreams begin responsibilities.

A life at sea, that's for me, only I just don't have the BREAD. That's right, Theme Thursday yet again and I post a photo of a yacht dicking about in Bass Strait just off Wynyard. The problem is, I am yet again stuck at work, slogging away, because I knead need the dough . My understanding is that it is the dough that makes the BREAD. And it is the BREAD that buys the yacht. On my salary though, I will be lucky to have enough dough or BREAD for a half dozen dinner rolls. Happy Theme Thursday people, sorry for the rush.
