This is why Photography is so widely accepted and liked; it is thought to fit into the factual world, it is traditionally an unaltered objective view of the natural world... Then along came computers and Photoshop and printers and the internet; people are getting confused, their bastion of presumed factual photography is beginning to move into the subjective world ;)

@moominfei
The inside of our minds is a picture never to be fully understood. We function within a 'Factual' world, an objective world where our subjective and elusive selves are squeezed into the back seat. Artistic expression is All subjective, however much people get stuck on the technique of the art, it is not about technique it is about the statement or the communication (it may be a question) contained within the work.

Many people will try to fit art into their objective factual world and it will NOT fit in, they then decide there is something wrong with the Art...

To 'own' a piece of art is to begin a kind of relationship with the artist, even though they may never even meet irl and may never even know of the existence of the relationship, it is still there, sitting in the back seat,,, or the front seat, it depends on the 'owner' (viewer).

@moominfei this is beautiful!
Your eyes and your expression, the tilt of your head and that awesome hair... If being 'a bit strange' means 'Artistically BRILliant' then yeah, he is right! So rich! <3

i believe kind hearts are what we need in this world @moominfei , for ourselves as well as for those around us. a kind heart can 'see' the multitude of possibilities but a mean heart only 'sees' it's own intentions...

Have you seen his beard though! A herd of hippopotomuses could live in there, I don't even have room for one! And he has enough names for at least two people maybe more ;P

Hi @phainopepla95 and @Fanchy :)
For a good 6 months I have not been watching TV, I don't read NewsPapers, I don't listen to the Radio and to top it all off I don't see that many people to talk to, so I don't get to see weather maps... Here in Wellington and, as Fanchy points out, places south of Auckland perhaps have got used to cop-ing only the edge of the normal weather patterns traveling from Australia and Indonesia.
The down side of that is that we often get effected by weather from the southern oceans and Antarctica. There is nothing between the southern Ice cap and us and the southerly wind can be chilling indeed!
In 1968 the meeting of these two weather 'engines' combined with the funnel of the Cook Strait (the channel between the North and South Islands) caused a horrendous storm in Wellington. If you search for 'Wahine Disaster' you will find the story of some of that storms victims.
The house I live in, in Miramar, was reputedly (told to me by my original next door neighbour) the only house on the ridge it is built on Not to have any windows or roofing damaged in that storm of 1968. Yet 2 years ago now (?) a localised squall managed to suck one of the very same windows that had survived in 1968 straight out of its frame! It was traumatic indeed, you would not believe the chaos that one large window can let in if it has suddenly stopped being there.
On the whole though the weather this summer has been pretty 'drab' as @Bannie1 can attest to...

On a completely different note, yes hols end :(
Better to have them than not but you're going to get a coming down at the end of em... I rattled on a bit up top and so have to leave it at that for the time being, have to take Gert to the garage :)

Peter is a male from New Zealand.

About

Older guy in a youngsters world, things change, hopefully, and then again hopefully not. Arn't we meant to be honing our lives to suit ourselves, what the heck went wrong then, grrrr. I feel like a troll, but i am not trying to be one, i am just single and have been single for 99% of my life, and that is 99% not what I wanted. I feel like it's all over for me, but something still wants to fight, trouble is i'm a whimp lol.

I like myself, but it is getting harder and harder to keep it up, the world goes shadowy, and I am haunted by my unfulfilled desires, so many years...

Anyway, here I am, I'm not good at cementing relationships, but I am kind of outgoing, I hope for the best.
