You are so right: the eye just edits it out! <BR/><BR/>Somehow that thought seems to match up with your gear and tackle and trim essay. Power lines might be a visual blot, but I wouldn't want to be without the luxuries/necessities they provide.<BR/><BR/>You always find the choice bits, Lucy.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-67885350073092906742009-02-23T16:47:00.000+01:002009-02-23T16:47:00.000+01:00Essex is not so bad, or perhaps my homesickness is...Essex is not so bad, or perhaps my homesickness is reaching new heights.

In your current blog you complain about <EM>"alas, the ubiquitous cars, electricity cables, roadsigns and wheely bins, which the eye often edits out of real life, squat as ugly eyesores once they appear in photos"</EM> whereas in the two retro-blogs you transform some of those mundaneities into pied beauty. Especially the perforated guard intended to protect people from being burned by a heated exhaust. Something I'd noticed on huge transcontinental lorries in America and stored away, only to have the memory re-awakened.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, the moment of genius in the Hopkins line is the way it ends with a snap on a single-syllable word which brilliantly summarises what has gone before.<BR/><BR/>Keep on re-excavating those mines.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-91791257784466566382009-02-22T10:24:00.000+01:002009-02-22T10:24:00.000+01:00Beautiful photographs, Lucy.So hope Molly won't ne...Beautiful photographs, Lucy.<BR/><BR/>So hope Molly won't need anymore injections.<BR/><BR/>Hope you're having a lovely weekend.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747839768257543728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37070024.post-86871767242115446242009-02-21T18:58:00.000+01:002009-02-21T18:58:00.000+01:00I love your view of corners.
