Se quel guerrier
Io fossi!
Se il mio sogno s'avverasse!...
Whatever,

Composition in Black and WhiteA bit of silver thrown in,
Some red,
And a green letter or two!

How much luckier can one get?

Good luck will rub off when
you are lucky enough
to encounter two!

ReplyDeleteLovely green letter :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I ever got your address, did I? If you send it to me in an email I will send you a letter from Norway ;-)
I haven't seen a chimney sweep for years.
ReplyDeletesandi mcbride:
ReplyDeleteThe puzzle idea is great!
Did you try to click on the chimney sweeps' picture? ;-)
Charles Gramlich:

A little detour through Vienna, and I guarantee you at least one every other day. ;-)
Chimney sweeps - really? Didn't konw there really were such things still.
ReplyDeleteTLC Illustrations:
ReplyDeleteChimney sweeps in their traditional habits are very much part of the scene when one walks along Vienna's streets. They always make me feel lucky, when I spot them. I had asked the two gentlemen if I could take a picture of them because I liked the composition of their outfit together with the black and white tables. They cheerfully agreed, one more example of the generosity and friendliness of Viennese people, which I have encountered so often since I moved here.
The chimney sweep we called in every now and then in Washington DC to remove the soot in the chimney over the open fireplace was well equipped, with a special vacuum cleaner and such, but no tradition outfit. He could have been a painter, for the way he looked, or any other craftsperson.
oooooh!!! :-) Black and white! How fun. That last photo is completely black and white. How cool is that?
ReplyDeleteI totally adore that photo with the coffee cup on the silver platter. And bravo on the videos
;)
Wonderful photos - and an unexpected sight of the ensemble!
ReplyDeleteI miss yr big pics...
