This is exactly how I feel when I'm hauled off to Marks and Spencers, as yesterday. OK going but as soon as inside the door I want out!!

Excellent postwork! :)

A trip to the Mart is a true test of tolerance and patience for sure! Wonderful image you have made Andrea. The complex waves of mixed colors and blocked images really add meaning to your comment. Hope you enjoyed the quiet and peace in the Hobby Shop! Thanks for sharing Andrea.

Someone once said that the reason God made children so cute is so that we do not kill them. This is very colorful and creative but trying to focus begins to hurt my eyes. Do the people at Asda dress as poorly and are they as grossly overweight as those who shop at Walmart?

I do not like Walmart also. You caught the feeling just right

amazing mood

A LITTLE digifiddle? Shades of the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey. Astounding bit of syncope and vertigo you must experience if this wild image is any indication. I'm with you in re the spoiled screaming brats and the loud music, plus long lines at the checkout counter, finding they're all out of what I'm shopping for, and arriving home with a leaking milk carton.

Great looking image Andrea. I 100% share your aversion to poorly trained children. I can't imagine why some apartments ban you from owning pets but allow herds of children.

As horrid as the trip to Asda is for you, believe me that NOTHING compares to a trip to a real Wal Mart... I love your postwork on this!

I love those chance occurances that result in surprises such as this.You have captured the frenzy of the market place.

How interesting! Your image and writeup has caused me to go off and do a bit of research (of course!), and I've learned all sorts of interesting things. I won't set foot in those huge stores. I feel like I'm being battered by some sort of frantic, greedy consumerism-oriented energy. It's physically uncomfortable, as if I'm being attacked. I prefer not to go grocery shopping either, although I did my own shopping for many, many years (preferably when nobody else was out). I'm so fortunate that Bill likes to go to the grocery store! He has a great time, and doesn't mind that I don't go along. Numbers and letters have no color or special significance for me, but I do see older dates as being farther away (on the left) and future dates going off into the distance (on the right). My perception is that today is right in front of me, 1980 is quite a ways off to the left (and smaller than today), and 1920 is even farther and smaller. I never realized I saw time in that way until I read the Wiki on synesthesia. These are quite minor experiences (although the store thing really does keep me out), especially in comparison to some of the things I read. It's rather interesting, though. Thanks for sharing your experience! Did I remember to tell you how much I like your picture? It's a delight!

I HATE SHOPPING, I know how you feel. I would shop on line if I could trust them :o)

Stunning capture and post work Andrea. God Bless.

The overall effect is pretty spooky, the angled horizon makes in feel like you're carrying a sick bucket! Just in case! That gets the feeling over completely.

Yeah, I dont like shopping either. First you have to write a note, not to forget half of what you neet. Then we have to drive to the big supermarket and find a parking place. Then we walk around in the SM looking and searching for the stuff we wrote down and the shop has, as usual, moved all the things around, so they are not where they were last time. Waste of more time. Then stand I line to come to the checkout counter. All the stuff up on the counter line. Then the stuff back into the cart. Then out to the car and pack all the stuff in bags and boxes, then back to get our coin back, we payed for loaning the cart. Finally we can go home and carry all the stuff into the house and then stuff it all away and just when we unpack all the stuff, we realize we forgot this and that. OH MY I HATE IT! I am as lucky as Tara. Per is often shopping and taking the dog to the beach at the same time. :-) I do see figures in your beautiful image, Andrea, but not letters or numbers.

Just to counterbalance everything written in the comments above, I have never minded going to WalMart...some people go to great lengths to find a place to walk. Why not do it in a huge box store? lol. As for screaming spoiled brat kids in public...yes, they should be shot (the parents I mean)! The moment one of our two children tried that, they were whisked out and taken home. The consequence for bad behavior was swift and meaningful. It only happened once. Thereafter, life was good. Love what you've done above. Goes to prove digifiddling rocks.

Masterful digifiddling! Mark is 100% correct. The WalMartians, as we call them on this side of the pond, dress like Halloween everyday and it is a shock to the mind when I bump into one. I would E-mail a few photos but then I would lose you as a friend.

Excellent postwork!

Screaming spoiled brats in public places make me completely understand why some species are prone to eating their young. How you see and hear things simply is amazing to me, even though I've read of it before. As for shopping .. there must be a better way. We still have some small privately owned shops around, and I tend to gravitate toward them when I must shop. You have such a knack for digifiddling .. this one is a delight.

Wonderful capture and results
