Nice Photos.

That's insane. Not allowed to photograph benches. What's next? Ballet?

Guess where we've been...

Still have your bullying problem then,

you're very sad : (

Great photo. (Of course, you are now only allowed to shoot silhouettes at Disneyland, lest you inadvertently photograph a child or, horror of horrors, a bench).

And I still have no idea what you are on about.

Yes, that's true,

at least we can agree about something : /

Thanks Winky

It really is a great image. Creative way to capture something that has been photographed a million times before.

Kindly stop replying to my comments. At least until you get some perspective and humour.

I told the brave policeman that if I were interested in gathering (artistic) intelligence I would not have stood smack in front of the bench with a large SLR. Instead I would employ a long lens shooting it from a distance or something very innocent like an iPhone. The two choices I was given was delete the pictures or come to the stations for a few hours to answer some questions. These poor souls always get on their guards when the hear my nonAmerican accent.

It is a really sad state of affairs, isn't it? Fear and paranoia are rampant.

This fat little fella just stayed around long enough for one shot. Puffed up gainst a bitter early morning wind off the ocean. Pity about the the stick in the way....

Winky,

Nice colors. I don't find the twigs in the way.

There is BIG money in fear and paranioa

Another easter-picture. Off the north-western coast of Denmark. Known for the beaches - they are indeed nice. But too damn cold and windy. 

Nice shot. Beautiful.

Your comments often contain snide remarks that strongly suggest you completely misunderstand the recent discussions about the Ballet picture.

No one on this forum disagrees about G’s infamous Ballet photo being an excellent picture, and no one here [my good self included] complained about the image either.

The point in order was concerning anyone having a position of privilege, friendship, and trust within a school authority, and upon those grounds takes a photograph of a group of scantily dressed children, have a need to be careful how they display the image. The other parents may not like an image [which includes their child] to be displayed on this forum, which can [and most probably will] be copied and show in many other places throughout the internet.

You appear to have embarked upon a jihad of persistently referring to what you very wrongfully believe i expressed about G’s ballet picture.

That little fracas of over-inflated insignificance has been done and dusted by everyone else here who have all since moved on from that subject matter.

I request to you to:

Stop misconstruing the facts.

Stop your obsessive referring to all child photos being offensive; which only serves to inflame an argument that never actually existed here in the first place and does very much appear only intended by you as a cyber-bullying mechanism towards another forum member.
