Unusual view of a school bus! Interesting color contrast!
I love a bit of minimalism, and just yellow and blue makes my day.Quote:

Loved this sign and the contrast with the Cayman landscape.What has to stop is left to the imagination of the reader.
Diner looks confy, allbeit empty. I liked the different shades of blue and the unkempt vegetation.
ha, true Danik. Maybe destroying the beauty of nature can be stopped. Sometimes. Glad you 'get it' - that said, in today's world metaphors are a lost art.Quote:

Tony, I didn´t identify the object on the left.
This one doesn´t work anymore, but it looks somehow poetic in its abandonment. We still have some of these here. Nowadays the prostitutes use them to leave their phone number on it.Quote:

Interesting back story: Chu Ming Silveira (April 4, 1941 – June 18, 1997) was a Chinese Brazilian architect and designer, creator of the Orelhão telephone booth.Quote:

But the design of the Brazilian public phones was great. You could talk on the phone and be in the shade, even a little bit protected from some light rain. Great idea! Great design! But, they didn't always work very good. And sometimes I took out my frustration on the public phones in Brazil and made them even worse. I used to have trouble with my temper back then. Then again, I did some pretty mean things to public phones in the USA as well. I'm sorry for blabbering so much. I miss Brazil. I miss Brazil with all my heart. I hate Brazil. I love Brazil.
I wanted to paste two pics of "orelhões" here but those posting icons don´t appear any more.
It makes me want to travel by plane again. But as usual the plane looks deserted as if it was flying by itself without passengers or crew.
Great opening for a movie: opening scene, interior of plane, empty, hum of engine, camera moves through empty aisle, opens door to empty cabin. Then shot of man with a bag of money, unwrapping a parachute.Quote:

heaved sighs like an acrobat.
My father was blind and his hands were more wonderful than the night.
I love the night, the hat of every day.
The night, the night of day, from one day to the next.
My mother spoke like the dawn, like blimps about to fall. Her hair was
the color of a flag and her eyes were full of far-off ships.
One day, I gathered up my parachute and said: “Between two swallows
and a star.” Here death is coming closer like the earth to a falling balloon.
My mother embroidered abandoned tears on the first rainbows.
And now my parachute drops from dream to dream through the spaces
of death."

True, true - funny how people come to this wall and ponder. But they do.
A beautiful color combination, Tony! And every man is an island!
While your humans are static, this leaf seems so alive!Quote:
