Beautiful...yet melancholy at the same time.

José Torres 26. November 2008, 17:09

Wow, this is realy beautiful! :up: with tripod of course! :wink::wink:

Richard 26. November 2008, 17:17

Ooooh - lovely, and strikingly similar to one I took yesterday. Must be something in the air. :smile:

Allan 26. November 2008, 17:34

Yes, Richard. The same kind of mood.

Thanks, Painter.

With tripod of course, Ze. I've noticed you've got one of those, too.

Angeliki 26. November 2008, 20:59

:cry: it doesn't look like a happy story to tell Allan....


Richard your guy is so much more peaceful!!

isn't body language a great thing ???

and here is mine:

Allan 26. November 2008, 21:02

Angeliki, that on the other hand looks very cozy. From Greece?

Angeliki 26. November 2008, 21:28

it is taken in New York City,
amazingly he is overdressed for a hot day that it was that day
and I assumed those were the only clothing he owned :frown:
still he seemed contend
and that's what attracted me to take the picture...

Allan 26. November 2008, 21:30

Well, there you go. Something about his appearance, the bike and the fence, tree and grass didn't exactly point m in the direction of New York City.

Nice photo anyway.

Angeliki 26. November 2008, 21:39

:o: thanks,

NYC city has many bikers, especially the past 5 years,
the house was not occupied and you can see the grass not trimmed, in the area I live we do have quiet streets and neighbors that say "hello"
this is the view from my 7th floor window :

Allan 26. November 2008, 21:46

Yes, of course there's more to New York than just Manhattan. It's just that when you finally get yourself installed as a tourist in an Upper East Side hotel, there's more than enough to occupy you a full week on that island.

Manhattan tends to become identical with NY for the outsider like me - which isn't fair of course.

Angeliki 26. November 2008, 21:51

yes,
NYCity is beautiful and uinique,
I am only 20 minutes away from Central Park and Manhattan has been "home" for many years when I had my Corporation on 54th str and seventh Avenue,
now days I do enjoy having coffee in the park before I start my business day and despite of the fact that I don't miss Manhattan look at this baby taken lately :

Allan 26. November 2008, 21:54

Angeliki 26. November 2008, 21:57

Allan 26. November 2008, 21:58

Anything for you, Angeliki :smile:

Angeliki 26. November 2008, 22:01

You see them everywhere.

A fantastic subreal, dreamlike photo Allan :up:

Angeliki 26. November 2008, 22:59

so far we had,
the desperate,
the dreamer,
the peaceful,
the lost......

society in it's reality

Angeliki 27. November 2008, 00:17

Ze this is funny too! :lol:
he is having his white socks,
shoes neatly under his bench and what life will be without a matress for comfort!! :lol:

a great shot!
maybe we should make a joined album on 365photos and add all our guys there!
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm am I thinking 365photos 24/7 ?? :lol:

José Torres 27. November 2008, 13:57

Yes socks project, I hope no one see my pink socks project...:whistle:

In the picture that man is a hemigrant waiting for work...

White sock...it's so funny when touristes come with sandals and white socks, imposible don't lought...:lol::lol:

PainterWoman 27. November 2008, 14:37

"White sock...it's so funny when touristes come with sandals and white socks..."

:lol: :lol: Sorry, I have to laugh. Reminds me of a time 25 yrs ago when our family was in San Diego walking along the boardwalk. My ex always wore white socks all the way to the knee :eyes: with his sandals. When we walked by a bunch of young guys sitting on a bench, one said 'nice socks'. My ex didn't hear it, only my son and I and his friend. We could not contain ourselves and began laughing hysterically. My ex kept asking what we were laughing at but we were unable to talk. :lol: :lol:

José Torres 27. November 2008, 14:44

To funny Pamela! :lol::lol:

Allan 27. November 2008, 14:45

This is becoming a collection :eyes:

I remember the eighties when men could wear pink shirts and white socks at the same time and nobody would laugh...

José Torres 27. November 2008, 14:54

:lol::lol: now it's fashion...:lol::lol:

Allan 27. November 2008, 14:56

We were absolutely smashing to look at!

José Torres 27. November 2008, 15:03

Talk about ladies...
Talk about old stories...
http://my.opera.com/365/albums/showpic.dml?album=441625&picture=6444454

Allan 27. November 2008, 15:05

Aah, these old men are just lovely!

There's a song with that theme - going like:

"when old men stop sitting
talkin' about old women"

It's a country song. Anybody?

Allan 27. November 2008, 15:16

Got it!

José Torres 27. November 2008, 15:44

Yesssss great song Alan! :up::up: Thanks :smile::smile:

By the way there are a mess in the new voting awards...http://my.opera.com/community/blog/my-opera-awards-finalists?cid=6471859

Allan 27. November 2008, 15:46

I noticed. Never mind. It'll be sorted out soon enough.

Otherwise we'll all be winners :D

José Torres 27. November 2008, 15:52

We already are winers!:up: Sad is some of people was nominated, is out now of awards, and that is not nice...

Allan 27. November 2008, 15:56

I am not mentioned in the top photographer category any more. And if you try to vote - you don't have access rights. I think it's funny :D

José Torres 27. November 2008, 16:10

I saw that Alan...

All this is to funny "Balance" is the therm...

José Torres 27. November 2008, 16:12

All the categories I was nominated, the only one i would like to win is "Biggest Opera fan" Now I'm out of competition...

Allan 27. November 2008, 16:13

Screw it. It's not really important. I just think they shouldn't have started all this stuff if they don't mean it.

José Torres 27. November 2008, 16:16

:up::up: this will not have a nice or fun end!

Allan 27. November 2008, 16:17

It certainly won't. I see trouble on the horizon - in which I will have no part.

José Torres 27. November 2008, 16:19

I'm already out!

I will make a post with: PLEASE DON'T VOTE IN ME...:lol::lol:

Allan 27. November 2008, 16:19

That's the way to do it. I made something similar...

José Torres 27. November 2008, 16:21

:smile::smile::smile:

Angeliki 27. November 2008, 19:53

:lol:

you are winners in my books!!!
I stopped visiting the polls all together since last night!
I felt sad that members campaign against other members, it is sad that a T-shirt is above friendship.
on a happier note,
Ze,
the pink socks will always be your trade mark ! :lol: what a great idea that was!!!
Allan we need to start giving links out of our 80's pictures.. that can stop traffic !! :lol:

Allan 27. November 2008, 21:21

Angeliki - I wasn't sad about the competition. I like games, as long as they're fun, and I thought this one was. Until the shit hit the fan, that is.

80's pictures? You don't know what will happen now, but you'll see. Stay tuned - don't touch that dial :D

PainterWoman 27. November 2008, 21:27

"Until the shit hit the fan"

I have no idea what everyone is talking about. Must of missed it.

Angeliki 27. November 2008, 21:31

I know Allan,
I stopped visiting the polls since last night :lol:
I will not till the 12/10,
when the smell starts its time for some fresh air!


"80's pictures? You don't know what will happen now, but you'll see. Stay tuned - don't touch that dial :D"
I am looking forward to it!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Allan 27. November 2008, 21:35

You missed it, Painter. Good for you. It was just a competition that got screwed up. Nothing important, really.

Looking forward to it, Angeliki? You're one brave woman. It's not gonna be pretty, I can assure you that!

Angeliki 27. November 2008, 21:38

:lol:

bravery is my only stock of the trade!! :lol:

José Torres 27. November 2008, 22:56

Pamela you don't lost nothing important!:wink::wink: Believe me! :smile::smile:

Angel! :up::yes:

Darko 28. November 2008, 15:09
