    Hi Tom, nicely seen, and I love the title.

    My father once asked me "What's the difference between a Buffalo and a Bison?"

    It's obvious, you can't wash your hands in a Buffalo!! rolleyes1.gif ( It may have been funnier 50 years ago).

    Cheers, Richard.

    You should have seen this place, Taz. These old sinks, and an equal number of old tubs, literally covered several acres. I rounded a bend on one of my mountain jaunts and there they were...it was a surreal scene.

    See you,

    Tom

    I tell you, Richard, there were hundreds of these things all over the place. Once the " caretaker " there became convinced that I wasn't wanting to make off with a bunch of them, he consented to me wandering around. After wrestling for a while on how best to capture such a display, I took the easy way out and opted to just grab a few abstracts.

    How about sharing more of your splendid work with us.....been too long.

    Like you, Richard, once I slipped into the Aussie vernacular, I didn't feel so dumb. rolleyes1.gifI think I discovered where all these things flee to when they're trying to escape the smelter.

    Take care,

    The plant was what caused me to compose the shot this way. Like you, I feel it added a real point of interest to the image.

    Gotta love your avatar. I've leaned off of a few things over the years, but never a guard rail.

    Thanks, Cristóbal. I'd like to see a whole hoard of us descend on this place. I can only imagine the multitude of interpretations our group could generate from this scene.

    BTW, you've been awful quiet with the postings lately. Fire it up.

    Take care my friend,

    Better yet, Jack, how in the hell did he think I could make off with the things? It would have taken me 15 minutes to drag just one of them to my vehicle. You have to realize, though, there are some pretty suspicious folks who live in those mountains.

    I like the planter idea. More thoughts for my man cave.

    See you,

    Tom
