I don't know how you feel about land art --the sculpture was named "middle of the world" by its creator. Now it has to compete with those impressive mountains, the huge skies and I'm not sure it always compares so favorably....Anyway, it´s a welcome opportunity for a snap.

very impressive, Klaus.  It looks like a tree growing in the opposite direction.  😀

Adam's Grand Central picture inspired me to browse through my archives. Quality-wise it is like a scratchy radio transmission vs. a philharmonic concert, but it holds good memories:

This young Saanen lady was a favourite model, and later a reliable provider of milk, butter, yogurt, and cheese. Her name was Tilly, and this was a Fujichrome100 slide from somewhere in the early 1970's. Probably taken with a Pentax K1000. I might add that there are no species of pet better than a goat. Not only intelligent, they are wily, sneaky and smart in unexpected ways. The fence that will successfully contain a goat has yet to be invented.

I am now waiting for paperwork to be completed to start on ibrutinib, whilst my name has been entered on the bone marrow transplant list so as to search for a donor. As soon as a donor is found, the transplant process starts.

All the best wishes! May the search be successful and fast.

The picture and the story would brighten up any day, Chris, not to mention that lovely goat face.

I send to you the very best of luck in rapidly finding a donor and with the transplant process once that begins, and best wishes for a speedy and successful outcome.

As an interpretation and appreciation of an artwork, this is staggering. It takes the work and its milieu and extrapolates those fragments to form what I would say is a greater work, in that we are able to see it expertly imagined into a highly dramatized context. I'm sure the artist would be staggered by your interpretation.

Stunning, Phil.  The colors are just sublime and the placement of the reflections within the frame are awesome.  Really enjoyable!

 

Love it, Phil.  But where's the London Bridge? 😀

 

Thanks Adam. The "London Bridge" of the title refers to a rock arch formation near where I live. It looks nothing like London Bridge in London, of course. Interestingly, there was a second stone formation in my State of Victoria which was also, confusingly, named "London Bridge". It, though, had two spans. Even so it looked nothing like London Bridge in London. Then, just a few years ago, one of the spans fell down (just like in the nursery song) and left a tourist stranded on the other span. That formation is now imaginatively called "London Arch". The tourist was safely rescued by helicopter.

The rock formations in the picture make up part of one end of the local (to me) span.

Logically, I am telling myself, "Doc Henry is standing on a small footbridge, and it's cold--not that cold but cold enough to hold the hoar frost for a delicate, magical portrait of a brook posing in quiet solitude. Wait. Maybe Doc is gliding in a skiff over the sterling silver reflections on the water." I slap myself back to reality and realize that Doc is certainly hovering, motionless, except for the whirring of his diaphanous wings, both hands free to attend to what it is photographers do--let the creative spirit fly.

Can you see me standing, applauding enthusiastically?

A wonderful idea Rog. I will include this  in my collection of autogenic training presets.

That's what the guy did: took a small tree and replanted  it the other way around...

Thank you Philip for your interpretation which I appreciate very much-not for being supportive, but for botherin to  give me a feedback.   Actually the installation was very near to my holiday accommodation, so I had enough time to work on this mentally before unpacking the SWC... There must be still a roll of Ektar with the thing in color--hope to find it .
