Arrival & Departure ****************** I hesitated to post this tonight because the forum seems to be in such a sombre, sad, mood - but maybe it is appropriate in some ways to some of the recent news here. I think the moderators and coordinators are doing a fantastic job. I love this site of all the photographic sites I have visited/joined. There are issues of course, but as Misha has suggested: "I'm hangin' in there."

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Great image for the challenge - I will post asap :)

Excellent entry Richard Being a forum Moderator/editor call it what you will is a hard and sometimes thankless job. Artists by their very nature are emotional people and sometimes things get heated but they always sort it out, in the end we are all here for the same reason.

The Truth is Out There

:]

Would not have thought of this. Excellent
