Memories,. conscious or unconscious, of René Magritte may have influenced this shot. Well. of course they did.

This is fascinating three different ways to Sunday's subconscious.
(No, I don't know what I mean by that, but I don't know what this image means either. But meaning is in the mind of the bewildered.)

Thanks, Sarah. I know what you mean by that even if you don't. But why did she put on the hands of a hod-carrier?

Nothing is, as one think it is - otherwise I am speechless with astonishment ... ... really.
And daily task are screaming loud and louder, so I have to leave.
But I'll be back - tonight.
For sure.
Great stuff, nontheless.

Whimsy. (Not Lord Peter?) Thinking outside the oft-reviled box. Also a fascinating array of blues, not normally found on the same canvas. This is brilliant.

Thank you very much, Bob. I tried taking the blues out (I have a thing about blue) but realized they were essential).

Seeing the thumb, I was thinking it must be such a portugese tile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azulejo) I never saw in original. A saint or a priest holding a book? After opening the image the first thing my eyes could fix were these uniform office windows at left - they are not just pattern like on the thumb. And the saint or priest isn't one, but obviousely a lady; no book but a further window ... and finaly the nightly street scene in the middle. No not at all an azulejo ...
And except that "stupid" office tower, I do not have any idea how it works - but greatly it works. Without any doubt.
That's it for the moment from my side.
