I simply cannot comprehend how people can wax lyrical over the genre termed "literature" ! My first introductions were also at school with English, French and Spanish classics. All of them would spend pages writing what most of us would say in two sentences. Did people in bygone times really converse in such a convoluted manner? Did they all spend several eternities agonizing over trifles? On the other hand, these were the times when clerks were paid by their written verbosity rather than for their clarity of expression.

Great to find Stan fixed up at last and thank you - you always encouraged me when I first appeared. It's appreciated.

They don't breed 'em like that any more! What an eye-opening account.

Beautiful.

I really like these hard black and white images. With so little to distract the viewer's attention what's left has be bang on.

4, 5 and 8 please.

The sunlight in the mornings recently has been wonderful - as these demonstrate.

There seem to be fewer and fewer submissions to the main gallery and even fewer people commenting on them? .............. Comments?

I believe it was. We, as kids, had to go to the most hated place in town -the CLINIC - and it wasn't on sugar cubes then. Polio, tetanus, diphtheria, and later the shocking horror of a hand down your pants with a request to cough. It was always full of screaming kids. I dislike walking past it even today.
