Tomato Source?

The man that cannot visualize a horse galloping on a tomato is an idiot.

I thought one absurdity deserved another. Hence my quote.

I found these stray, green tomatoes, ... on a piece of board, ... on a window ledge, ... at a hardly-used back entrance of an industrial building ... how absurd!

It's been another grey and wet day in Cape Town. I believe Sunday is going to be a beauty - can't wait to get outdoors!!!

HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!

fav. I think I've seen a classic photo by William Albert Allard not too far from this style. The textures are exquisite, as is the composition. Really, the more I look at this one, the better it gets.

Excellent comp and perspective - I like it very much!

Fave! Love the textures, composition, everything just comes together perfectly!

LOL, where do you come up with these ideas AND quotes?

@billjohnson Wow, Thanks Bill. I've just gone to Google Mr Allard's work and it blew me away. I had not heard of him before. His use of natural light is amazing and his composition breathtaking. I feel very honoured that my photo reminded you of his work. :) !!!! I'm all a-flutter :)
@marlboromaam Yeah, great movie!!! I almost called my pic just that.
@svetlana @rich57 @michaelelliott @nanalisarocks Thank you thank you!
@sailingmusic Hardly an idea Myrna (lol) - it's just something I saw on exiting the building. Not set up at all that is why it was so weird. And the quotes.. I cheat...I find them on the internet. There are lots of quote sites to draw from ... and I've always loved collecting them.

Thank you all for dropping by!

like the reflection, nice. Oh and toms ripen best in the dark, this is why the best toms are hiding deep inside the foliage of the bush.
