Hello.

I was sitting in the other room when I heard the distinctive sound of a popping cork. It took only the briefest of moments for the subtle ripe fruit aromas to reach my heightened olfactory senses, and I could almost taste the berry and tannin flavours , oak matured, when I decided I simply must have some.
I should probably have used the door, but where's the drama in that?

Fav! So many different possible directions you could take this in, and all of them off the wall :). (And thank you so much for being different!)

[Graeme Stevens]

@northy Thank you so much for the fav...there are a lot of directions, but I decided to avoid the whole "Jack Nicholson/Shining" thing. Glad you like it :)

[Spanner]

This is great. Nice work.

[Lisa Villella]

It seems that you are back in the saddle. Welcome back. Is that "blood" I see dripping down?

[Graeme Stevens]

@spanner Thanks very much, always appreciated
@eyeamlisa Yep, I'm making a comeback - blood, tomato sauce...call it what you will ;)

[Clare]

Wonderful! I'm teaching my Photo I students about composition and using the frame within a frame right now. I will share this one with them tomorrow. Very fun ... and FAV.

@graemestevens I quite agree, the shortest distance between any two given points is a straight line. Love the shot.

[Graeme Stevens]

@golftragic thank you kindly, much appreciated

[Dione Giorgio]

This is too cool and super in b&w

[Andrea]

For some reason I think you take these photos during your lunch break and havoc is left all around you as you wander back to work...leaving the town in disarray...am I right or wrong?😝

[Graeme Stevens]

@sangwann thanks very much
@andreajoy you are 100%....right. I'm so transparent :(
