Migue certainly has a point.

Looks a bit like my fireplace... cleaner, obviously, but not unlike mine.

And generally nicer.

Yes, robbie, but not as we know it.

Barbara beat me to it, but large amounts of stagnant water like this must really stink in a confined space.

A lovely picture: but resident pigeons really do tend to make places stink!

Illiteracy? (If that's how it's spelled).

Another beautiful photograph. Superb, sir!

I tried VB once. Not twice, though.

Mouth Gags. What other kind of gag exists? Discuss.

I didn't know what tap-bells were, incidentally, but it turns out I used to know somebody who... "collected" them.

Love the star-trails! I wouldn't want to risk leaving a digital camera on a tripod outside a derelict building at night, mind you.
Which is probably why I don't take really excellent shots like this one. Sigh.

Is that Kevin Spacey at the extreme left?
He's in everything.

We've even got "artistic" kids like that out here now!

PB, you should never begin a job if you can't complete the... paperwork.
(Administrators make a living out of this!)

El goat vampire? It's the sheep around here which have threats to their welfare, sir!
It's a lonely island. I've never been THAT lonely though.

e_jamesiii, there's no sadism like ADMIN sadism! It's not what you request, it's not how you request it... it's all down to what they file you under...

Even if you only scroll up and down slowly, it IS in motion... just a thought.

The books have catalogue labels on the spines; so the library shelves were worth saving, but the books themselves weren't. You've got to wonder about organisations' priorities sometimes.

It's an amazing picture, whatever its origins. No wonder some initial viewers don't wade through 40-odd comments before making their own remarks. To be honest, I would, and did, but that's just me. Never mind. They've seen it.

Magnificent.

I was with jen on this one, interpretation-wise, until I read the subsequent submissions. I suffered from depression for years, and the picture has a kind of bleak darkness to it which was uncomfortably familiar. It does have the positive aspect that some/most of the black sheep are escaping... that's much less familiar. Maybe the blackness of the sheep wasn't a reflection of guilt after all. Good picture though!

Mr Motts, thanks for your well-written, as well as magnificently photographed site, by the way. A rare combination on the Internet.
