Question - am I the only one to regret the demise of the tie?       
The modern world has new standards - suits with no tie.  It must be my age     

Thank you for faving the tie-less penguin Unit64.     Really appreciated as always...

To complete the quote that inspired the title of my sunset photograph...   

         “Bursts of gold on lavender melting into saffron. It's the time of day when the 
           sky looks like it has been spray-painted by a graffiti artist.”   ~ Mia Kirshner     

Thanks for faving the image Unit64       Have a great week to come...

Hi Unit64, thanks for faving my windmill shot  "Nothing new under the sun..."      

I'm not sure the new wind generators in the background are as cute as the one built 
in 1794 but hopefully they might be more efficient and save on fossil fuels        

Have a good week to come...

of being alone.  I hope you can find somewhere as stunning as that 
South African beach to experience solitude        but avoid loneliness
