Yes it is. And the result looks like a Turner painting. It has that wonderful indolent texture that he had, like an Arcadian tapestry done by an angel in a dream. The light is especially Turneresque. It's lovely.

Love these tones. Love that vignetting. Love that mystery and ambiguity. Love the absence of anything that sucks. Love the whole damn thing.

Love that wee spot on the car (light? reflection? laser beam?)
I've been down this road. It doesn't exist any more.

14.52 Bagram rifle vendor

Rifle vendor! Of course he is. Next to the RPG guy. Buy one, get a grenade free. Only kidding ... I know the kind of rifles you're referring to. They are quite beautiful, and not-quite-useless into the bargain. 14.52? The time?

Reminds me of an old army story. A visiting retired General is drinking in the Officers Club. After many scotches someone asks him when was the last time he had a woman. He scratches his head and says, "It must have been about 1945". The younger officers are aghast. "Good grief, sir," they exclaim, "that's a long time ago!" The General looks at his watch and says, "Not really; it's only 2130 now."

This cat is not following the Rule of Thirds. Rebellious wee bastards never do; they have a mind of their own, the moggies. Black cats, if they aren't pure black, are actually harbingers of good luck and not bad. This one has a white forefoot.
