Inspired by the Russ' post on McDonald's (and the role of chairs), I remembered I had a similar fascination with the design of those places, colors and shapes, and the role chairs play in it. It was an early morning and rather empty. No humans in the picture is what attracted me to the scene in the first place, as nothing portrays better human loneliness, isolation and solitude than empty, deserted spaces.

Slobodan, some of those places are empty because of the décor. See you in Madrid?

Ah, the typical European snobbery!  I am only too familiar with the unique character and decor of European cafes, and how and why, after them, one might look down on such prosaic, utilitarian and mundane places like McDonald's. But it is what it is, a fixture of American (sub)culture, and I can only applaud those who are trying to infuse some sense of decor into it, however kitschy it might be. As for Madrid, I wish... but more than two years of unemployment is taking its tall... in every respect. |

Two years Slobodan??!! I recently had two months of the same and felt my world was coming to an untimed and unplanned for end. |

Love these therapeutic walks; some seem to achieve the same - or not - via sailing.

The menacing sky looks almost unsuitable for walking, let alone sailing. And, lighting-wise, the moment of moon and cock was impeccable.

In matters of moon and cock, timing is always of the essence. No meter will help you, not even a golden Rolex. Unless it's a present, of course. Rob C |

Strange to say, up the mountains again today, where I haven't been for at least a decade-and-a-half. Funny world up there... must be the altitude - lack of oxygen, you understand. Not my fault at all.

Back in the montains today; you wouldn't believe it though - this was the final shot of the day.
Not even the cellphone but the D700 and 500mm mirror. Obviously, there's no difference.

There'd be a big difference, Rob, the moment you tired to do anything much more than post it to a thumbnail on the internet.
Cheers,

Sorry Rob,
It was on a new line and I didn't think it related.

Not much civilization up here - at least not until you walk in the opposite direction for a hundred yards.

Chris F at work yesterday.
Next to cameras, a useful (essential?) accessory for the camera bag would be a good head for heights. I don't have one. Well I have a couple of bags, but the head's the problem. Neither does it particularly like tight spaces, the head I do have.
