No really, I was stuck for a decent title, I had �after the downpour� At first. Then I changed it to something I can�t remember. Anyway I often do this, I will punch into Google translate A word that describes the photo, I really can�t remember which word I typed in at this time. But I will go through all the different translations from Afrikaans to Swedish, to Hebrew, to Russian. I kind of like the word in Russian, so Russian it was! I see. What I meant is that in Russian, rasputitsa means specifically a road condition when (upaved) country roads become unpassable either after a heavy rain or spring snow melting

I realised I got the meaning incorrect, I just really loved the word. And I was hoping no one would look it up :-) of course I forgot about you :-)

Wonderful work, my top pick, and my only 10. I really regret not having commented on this challenge as there were any number of excellent entries, but I was super busy last week.

Oh yes! Your son was absolutely correct. What would we do without our familial artistic 2nd opinions. This is so edgy and amazing!

It is a fine intrigue. (I wondered about "rasputitsa:" maybe a grand offspring of the infamous monk? I guess everything breaks down into muck eventually).
