  1. That looks almost like a shot from a movie. A creepy, scary movie where the little toy comes alive and wreaks havoc on everyone.

    It's like looking into other worlds with a crystal ball.

  5. Zounds! What a great shot! Looks like the cover of a novel about the Middle Ages...

    Even the toy looks scary!

    Super work, Ciel!

  9. The cathedral is stunning. It's obviously undergoing some renovations, which is great - I'm glad it is being maintained. The image contains a lot of detail and it's very good!

  11. This is rather spooky. Of course, you are giving me an opportunity for many bad jokes about my weekend reflections of St. Louis.

  13. Interesting photos. I usually think that the image and the reflection focus on the same plane, but maybe not. I'll have to look more carefully. There's something different about this one! Lovely image, Ciel.

  18. The picture gave me a certain "surrealistic" feeling - a castle coming out of the fog. Nice one!

  19. I like Clueless in Boston's theory.

  24. Great shot! My first thought was of Beauty and the Beast, I have no idea why. I guess it reminds me of the Beast's castle. Wonderfully creative. Kathy

  28. Oh, my goodness. I'm reading the Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. This could be the cover!

  30. This bokeh effect is delightful and a surprise twist to your usually crisply, clear photos!!! I love it when the memes push our creativity. Such ambience.

  33. Very, very cool! Love it!

    Ciel, cut an avocado in two, take the (big and only) pit off and fill the space with Port wine; let it rest for a couple of hours and then tell me if you liked it! :-)
