Very nice and refreshing to see the back of a cat after all the landscapes (and I do not say pejoratively "landscapes" since some are stunning) and portraits.

Will you walk into my parlor?

I heard this sweet voice before! No, no visits. I just take a lot of pleasure looking at you from the distance. Top 10.

Near the river

I keep coming back to your picture. Chekhovian. I am missing something though. It looks just a touch flat like a constructed stage set before the lighting designer's touch. Nevertheless, top 10 for me.

I had to revise my vote (for the better) - a great stage design; also reminds me of Anselm Kiefer. Top 10!

Hitch a Wagon to the Stars

Your superb image brought me the entire flavor of Jean Giono's book "The Joy of Man's Desiring" - almost untranslatable title of the French "Qu ma joie demeure". It begins with one of these simple but eerie lines, full of promises, that are always quoted in anthologies of novels : "C'etait une nuit extraordinaire ....". The title of your mysterious photo is rather pedestrian while the photo is top 10! Thanks.

I would love so much, so much more this photo without borders. They confine and almost kill the limitless of the image. Its cosmic quality is reduced to a beautiful shot. Still, top 10 for me.

Genesis. Superbly clever combination of earth/water and fire/smoke. Hard to beat. 10 - no reservations! Oh yes, especially since the rubber ducky was not my favorite!

Great photo. Is it always "the lonely tree" considered a sentinel?
