in the bright sunlight on the tarmac of

I like your photo journalism Merisi-- I didn't fully grasp the Boston Globe article, but I do your image.
ReplyDeleteYour egg makes me think we are all one, how about you?
I just read a comment you left last winter on my blog that was very moving and heartfelt. Much love to you and thank you for your friendship and inspiration.
Breakfast looks good...I'm not sure about the article, either. I must not be up to date on the news.
ReplyDeleteI;d much rather gaze at your egg...
ReplyDeleteLovely picture
Lovely egg
I'm a big fan of the hard boiled egg but I never seem to get them right when I do it myself...
Must remember to go to cafe Drechsler for the perfect egg...
This has been such a puzzling episode -- it's not clear at all what these Russian spies hoped to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteI love it!
ReplyDeleteMerisi, when first I heard about the spy trade-off site being Vienna, I immediately thought of you!
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast photo, and those of the message drop sites in the prior post lived up to all my expectations.
I knew that you would find a way to honor traditions in a thoroughly contemporary way.

Great photo...I read about Vienna regarding the spies as well...quickly thought how lucky they are!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
ReplyDeleteI know. When I heard about the Spy exchange I was thinking Ronald Reagan must have returned to the presidency.
ReplyDeleteEggstroardinary!
ReplyDeleteI remember the last swap. Great post, Merisi--love the way you juxtaposed these images!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've illustrated this ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, such exciting doings for you, and what a lot of nonsense this whole spy business is. I do like the egg though!
ReplyDeleteSpies and breakfast....an interesting combination. I only know about it because I watch BBC news. The artist in me enjoyed the illustration the zeitung used for this morning edition...I spied Vienna's Reisenrad in the background!
ReplyDeleteEspionage(sp?), spy swapping, the beautiful city of Vienna.....what an interesting day in your fabulous city! Anyone see Matta Hari? :D
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday, Merisi!

Isn't that insane? You are so on the mark with it being reminscent of time gone by. So is the egg-holder. But that's a very lovely thing to remember.
ReplyDeleteSeems the place and time to be. Please have a great and safe Sunday.
