Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by .. "

Beautiful place, I went there during September '08 with around 40 other students, the place seemed so empty, but we did manage to find a nice little cafe that done a really good iced chocolate

Yeah, thats the place. There were alot of bottles and other knick-knacks, I think an elderly couple owned it.

those colours..the rusty red with the electric blue - it's rare to see colours that should clash compliment each other so effectively. This makes me think of a photo of a rusty old steam engine near Carrai plateu in NSW that I took a year or so back....
The composition in this piece is lovely, too.

hurray for Robert Johnson ... and yeah Clapton is pretty awesome too

The sky looks so... perfect. It's gorgeous. The composition is also nice, go the two thirds rule.

the myth goes that robert johnson was fairly ordinary musician .. until he sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads one moonlit night, in return for an unmatched ability to play the blues and to write those twentynine songs that are the basis, now, for any blues artist worth listening to ..

but you probably already knew that ..
