Original setting, abstract vision of a foreigner? How are you G.?

@Lorraine: Thank you, L., you're always so nice... I'd say more metaphorical than abstract (but I think I get what you mean).

I suppose I'm OK. How about you, dear L.? Enjoying the season? I've seen you're making the most of it!

It seems like that the raindrops cannot reach the window. They are locked out.

Your photos are poetry. Prose poetry.

"... and it rained all night and then all day
The drops were the size of your hands and face..."

It is an intriguing photo. It doesn't give much away (and I like that). A very good macro that seems to be built up by layers of materials... or maybe just shadows...

@n: The nicest of comments, N.

Thank you, so, so much.

(It might work as a soundtrack.)

The "fore" and the "shadows," and then the foreshadowing, are what really matters. "Layered," you're right, but it's an optical illusion. (No manipulation.) It must be the shadows.

This image is wonderfully moody. And I agree: There is a poetic feel to it.

I'll confess g, that this year, it hit me in a big way, that Christmas is no longer Christmas, is this a bad thing to say? It's been said until we mutter ah 'so commercial' so often it has lost its strength. But it is, family togetherness is good, but you should have that often not once. It's a business holidays more a Winter Solstice, and let's face it no one can afford it. But even with all that, I could still enjoy it iff maybe, just maybe, Jesus was actually born on this day. But he wasn't, not according to visionaries, not according to highly spiritual people, not according to Historians not according to the Bible, not according to anyone. At Best, His Birth, which I believe in 'cause without His Love whatever He left behind, we'd have destroyed each other - but I digress LOL - is said to have occurred end of summer, beginning of fall...Having said that: Happy New Year ;) Wow that was long enough for a post. I think I'll use on my Word Blog tomorrow, yes I'll do that

@Lorraine: You digress and I get lost, dear L. (Kidding.) I'll stop by your wordblog to see if you've kept rambling on there like a mad, mad woman :)

(NB: My comment was due to the profusion of 'Christmassy' colors and details in your latest photos. I see you've already overcome that phase.) (Kidding again.)

Hey, happy new year. I fear I've always been a foreigner. And this photo seems to capture that feeling of being outside, viewing things through reflections.

@Damon Schreiber: Happy new year to you too, Damon. And thanks for your comment.

Interesting that you see this as being outside, because I was inside... And all the same I was a foreigner all the time.
