Hi guys ! Howdy ?
Something serious today not that I'm bluesy but I've wanted to illustrate this Frank « blue eyes » Sinatra's song for a very long time. I love this song which is, in my opinion his best one (I must say that Robbie Williams' version is great too) ; the lyrics are clever even if the final verse is a bit sad.
"When I was 17, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was 17.
(...)
And now the days are short
I'm in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs, from the brim to the kegs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year".
Or listen to Frank singing :

Some postwork ! I used DxOFilmPack, and Fuji Superia Reala 100, 6x6.
Thanks for looking, full size, please. Have a great rest of week and weekend.
Quelque chose de sérieux aujourd'hui, non pas que j'aie un coup de cafard mais je voulais illustrer cette magnifique chanson de Sinatra -sa meilleure selon moi- depuis longtemps. Vous avez les paroles ci-dessus et le lien pour écouter. La version de Robbie Williams (avec Sinatra), n'est pas mal non plus. Je trouve que les paroles sont belles même si le dernier couplet est un peu triste...pour les gens qui n'ont plus 17 ans !!!
Du travail sur cette image : j'ai utilisé DxOFilmpack et choisi Fuji Superia Reala 100 au format 6x6.
Merci de regarder en grand...et de laisser quelques mots.
Bonne fin de semaine.
