Who could resist all those bottles? :)
For those of you who are keeping track, we arrived at our summer "home base" campground today, safe and sound. We were gone eight months and drove eight thousand miles. Whew! We had a terrific time, but are glad to be home.
Over the next few days we'll get settled in, do a final blog update, and just relax and decompress.

I love bottle collections, this is really cool. Don't you just want to pick up each one and look at it? I do.

There is a place in Prague called "This 'N That" and guess what it's full of? If you thought: glass then you're right...and it's also full of stuff from Czechoslovakia that smells of dry-rot and Communism. I immediately thought of that when I saw this. I can tell by the window that this isn't This 'N That but it could be! I love the shapes and how sensual this image is. So many curves and lines and the darkness implies so much wonderful space to start wandering around in. And the glass is dusty! Who needs clean glass when you can have stories settled onto it!? This is so marvelously brilliant, and I'm glad you're at home base, decompressing and relaxing!

Irresistible indeed! They look so good contained by the leaded window. Too much to hop for a photo from the inside too ?

Looks like you found an old apothecary shop. I like the age on these and the compartmentalization.

Well seen and great capture.

"dry-rot and Communism" This made me chuckle, sounds like Chip was describing the UK labour party LOL! Glad you got home safe, now there are thousands of shots one assumes. This image is a great shot my friend.

This is great. Love the variety of shapes & colors & the way you've flattened the highlights to give it a painterly look...

That's quite an assortment of different bottles; wonder what the age span is between them all? Great capture of this window of delights!

Oh, MAN!! Do you know where those bottles would look great, Tara? Next to my insulators, of course! LOL! Seriously this is a wonderful shot of this magnificent variety of glass goodies! Glad you and Bill made it back to home base safe and sound! Take the weekend to relax.... Then of course we'll want to see more of the awesome shots you both took during your journey! I'm sure you took one or two... :-D

Nice capture Tara. Almost like my liquor cabinet. Well, actually I don't have a liquor cabinet, but I have a collection of bottles I like to look at, except they all hold a variety of alcoholic beverages.

most beautiful! seems that all old bottles, fore sure there has been "medecin" in, or liqueurs for saloons in good old America..

A beautiful bottle shot, tara, and you caught (and brought out) wonderful whites in the mullions. It almost feels like a big painting, it has so many fine artistic points in it. The bottles cover such an array of expression and texture. And you have many in deep shadow, and others very forward/present. This kind of variation enticed painters in the latter half of the 20th C, to look at repeated patterns with real variation within them. (Warhol's Coke Bottles explored that, only he shifted the liquid all over the bottle.) A beautiful photographic study, with much shadow to bathe it in mystery and history. And the lightest accents are at the bottom---first rate work, tara, both with old and beautiful bottles, and with sheer composition and form. Your crop is exact, which is just what this picture needs. Terrrrrr-ific. (Ok---don't think I'm saying your bottles are like this , your bottles have much mystery and softness the Warhol doesn't: But it's fun to compare. This is one of the famous paintings by Warhol---rows of Coke Bottles. And if you look at the lower rows, you'll see he moved the liquid to the tops and middles of the bottles---defying gravity!---to play and make variations. The connection to you is that he's exploring the simple language of bottles in a row. Largest link I could find---it's larger in person. http://historiadepinceles.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/warhol4.jpg)

What a fantastic find and capture, Tara. So many different bottles and colors, would there be also so many different people? Thick, thin, green, blue, shiny and dull? Haha, in the past I collected special bottles too, but by a relocating they were threw away. I think this is a masterful photograph, my friend. And you're quite right with "Donder en Bliksem", it is indeed the same in Dutch, so much fun that you know this. :) I hope you both can relax a time, and enjoy your home-base, huh?
