Doug, this one made me smile and then take a very close look at all the things going on.

Piazza Dell' Anfiteatro, Lucca, Tuscany

Mariner, Oh Italy, how I hope to get back there one day.

David, it's maybe just an illusion, or maybe the angle of the roof of the far building is not quite right. Don't tell Steve.

I won't if you don't.

We have been in full lockdown here for months, and I hear Belgium is in the same boat.

Partial lockdown for ages. Saturday back into full for a month. All non essential shops and businesses closed except by appointment. Numbers in food shops controlled and limited. All close contact professions - hairdressers etc. Totally closed. Schools closed. No social gatherings of more than four people. Food only takeaway by phone. 6PM total curfew.

Load of fun!!

Hi, DougD

What a great and funny idea. Terrific lighting and Fun FX. I love it!

But, because you are clearly a very accomplished user, I have to draw attention to your perspective. Sorry Doug, but it is so far off that it rather spoils, for me, an otherwise truly splendid and entertaining entry.

Thanks Josephine and Mariner
David - perhaps Doug D shifted the perspective as the mobile brothel is perched on a moving turtle's back - just a thought
- now that's a brothel that "rocks"

A fun one :

Wow Frank. I love the way you haven't quite joined the houses. It emphasises the differences.

Thank you David - it was another one I pondered for quite awhile as to what to do with it out of the ordinary

Don't know why the site is doing double entries - possible because I have to refresh to see my inputs
Also it doesn't like to let me log out

In a word Frank 'No'.

He's far too good to get away with that excuse. Problem, to my mind, is the exact reverse. I think he hasn't shifted the perspective when he should have done.

Of course that's just my Belgian deux centime's worth ..........

Thanks vibeke and Michael, I purposely knocked the perspective off with it being on the back of a giant tortoise, like Frank said. I can see what you mean though, maybe I should of kept the perspective throughout. Cheers Frank

Re: Challenge 849: The house they left behind

Thank you Ben. I see now what Mr Cut out is

Michael (mariner) What a great job in blending it in. I had to look for the original house.

Frank, that is fabulous. The explosion of colour is beautiful! Josephine, you are quite correct - I would live there in a heartbeat

Doug, as Vibeke says, there is a lot of detail here which became evident once I increased the exposure in PS. The stars, smoke the reflections on the road. Very well done.

David, I was unable to get to sleep after reading your outrageous criticism of my first entry, so here is Take 2.

OPS, It's already Friday, so much for adding a bit of Italy to my entry.
Mariner I like your first entry better.

Oh Micheal! I agree with Vibeke the first was better.

It wasn't a criticism, it was an observation. As I pointed out originally the first was quite correct. What I was seeing was an odd illusion.
