This is the beginning of a book...

Malyss said...

..or the beginning of a gothic movie...:o)

Kate said...

"...it was a dark and stormy night..." How's that for a book's beginning??

Julie said...

Ciel could be close! It certainly is a visual and verbal feast.

Sharon Creech said...

Look at THAT! What a marvelous photo - and I agree w/cieldequimper: it sounds like ythe beginning of a book.

It may be "prickly" but it ain't prickly heat. I thought perhaps y'all were sticking it to the sky!

Re a tatt: If I absolutely had to do it I'd get an anchor on my left bicep! But it ain't gonna happen. :-)

Now I could ask you the same question, but not today...

This looks like you have as high a density of churches as Rome.

I don't know what prompted Lowell's comment about tattoos, but it reminds me of a time during a deposition when the witness had a tattoo "Shirley" on his forearm, which resulted in the following exchange between the other lawyer and the witness:

Q: Are you married?
A: Yes.
Q: Would your wife's name be Shirley?
A: That is the name of my ex-wife. Big mistake.
Q: The wife or the tattoo?
A: Both.

I have the feeling it's a bit cold out there.

You certainly couldn't get much more of a difference in 'atmosphere' between this image today to yesterdays image Brattcat. Yesterday was all gentle and comforting and today it's all dark and brooding! Nice work indeed.
