    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I like it thumb.gif

    My eyes enjoyed looking this photo over. Interesting isn't it what's behind a wall, sign or anything else covered up.

    Reminds me of "Man Behind The Curtain" Neat find.

    One of the things I do for a few greenbacks is to "deconstruct" things. I enjoy the work and exposure to high tech items of just yesterday/year and what they are about.
    Awesome on the outside. Often pretty simple on the inside. Its like really... thats it ne_nau.gif:D Guess so.

    This shot reminds me of a fantasy I had when my family moved to the Pomona Valley east of Los Angeles and Hollywood. North of us were the San Gabriel Mountains. They were big and blue and beautiful. I had never seen mountains before (We'd lived in Iowa previously). I wondered what was on the otherside, and came to the conclusion that it all possibly could have been a facade made of plywood and was propped up with lumber and scaffolding like a set in the movies. Years later I found out what was on the other side, and loved it. I lived here/there for over 25 years now, in the desert among all the plywood and scaffolding. ;)

    Anybody can do it.

    Fantasy rules there's no doubt about it! But it's also fun to deconstruct fantasy, more or less like Michael said. Eg to go behind the set in a theatre. It is just mind blowing to deconstruct the fantasy of our fantasies, I can tell you!
