Beautiful capture and atmosphere! Stay well!

Well, I like it regardless of what anyone else says!

I like it too, but apparently Roy doesn't and has rated it D and O, according to Howard.

I saved him the bother, and evidently succeeded in taking the wind out of his sails.

I get confused by all this - I'm obviously not of the correct intellectual callibre!
I presume you meant you saved Roy the bother!
I would challenge this Roy to showcase examples of what he purports to be exemplar photographs. I look forward to seeing him in the member's registar presently so that we can all gain the benefit if his photographular sagacity.

You'll never take the wind out of Roy's sails!

I remember, in the 1970's, a menswear shop that had "Everything Must Go" permanently splashed across its window.

Although this suggested that it was, it didn't actually say anywhere that it was closing down, and it wasn't - the shop was still there years later.

Although he and I differ to a degree over what is perfect composition and over the amount of digital falsification that's acceptable, the differences boil down to artistic judgement, perception and opinion and neither of us can hence be right or wrong in any objective sense, and I would be the last to say that popularity and plaudits (Hitler, Stalin, Mao and the Rolling Stones were all immensely popular in their time) are evidence of merit.

Roy might himself be a very talented photographer, and his paucity of published work may be due more to a lack of opportunity to travel than a lack of ability.

Shh! Our friend is getting rather niggly and has respectfully asked to leave the conversation.
Roy is obviously not in his sphere and we don't want shots fired or anyone coming a cropper.

Turn his sphere upside down and you'll get a snowstorm.

Cheer me up, please. Last night I noticed that (thanks to sloppy work done < 10 years ago ) the drain connection to my washing machine upstairs had worked loose and water has penetrated the ceiling of the room below, which now needs to be redecorated.

Okay, I won't lecture you on the folly of doing your laundry upstairs.

Roy says he loves your superb photo and is going to add it to my faves!

1. In future I'll set the machine going and then wait downstairs. As well as badly staining the ceiling, it's also ruined the fabric slats of the window blind. Fortunately they're replaceable.

2. Now he's taken the wind out of my sails. I hope he's not just pretending to like it in order to 'extract the Michael'. I myself think it was worth taking for the sake of flying the flag, but only just. I'm also asking myself why, week after week, year after year, I'm still taking this sort of twee little picture. How many do I need?

Distressed doors and cupboards are quite fashionable, so you could start a trend with distressed ceilings. My own ceiling is distressed from my neighbour having a similar problem.

This kind of picture is an important reminder of normal life as we face the grim future promised by the globalists. So make sure it's the nation's flag that you're flying.

It's me that's distressed. Glad to know that I'm quite fashionable.

Certainly it's normal life that's depicted here. We British all live in olde cottages with roses round the door.

No-one will live in cottages in the future that's being planned for us by the World Economic Forum. We'll all be living in smart cities, owning nothing and being happy, with no access to the countryside (driverless cars won't take you there).

The EU is already trying to rob the farmers of their land (as is Castro in Canada), and we're going to have to eat bugs instead of meat. This is what the 'green' agenda is all about, propagating a made-up crisis as a means to get us to give up our freedoms and submit to global communism.

Sorry to be so depressing, but that's the reality now that the state has means of digital control.

A brave new world, indeed. If Castro is now president of Canada, the USA is doomed, and Biden is a latter-day Nero, Fideling while Rome burns.

An advantage of being old is that one doesn't need to worry much about the future.

The WEF has infiltrated so many governments and institutions, and Klaus Schwab openly admits that Justin Trudeau (Castro) is one of his Young Global Leaders. Both men are evil personified. We must pray for Trump 2024 and hope there is no election interference this time. We are living in very dangerous times.
