PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR BEING ARTSEY FARTSEY BUT........
« on: January 04, 2009, 07:47:20 PM »
Have never been an art person but this is just unreal. Only got to see a little bit but it was breathtaking. Art lovers rejoice, my next teasers are posted.

Good thing there were no flies...I would have swallowed one,lol.

Weather and other things permitting, tomorrow, as Americans we approach HALLOWED GROUND. Normandy awaits. Hopefully I can get those uploaded for you to see. I really do wish y'all were here to see what I am, hopefully the pics are giving you some idea. For sure tomorrow as I look through my viewfinder, I will be trying to hold back the tears....don't think I will be able to do so.

Hope you enjoy.

breathtaking!

Ice, you really need to parlay those skills because you DO have an artist's eye!

Most of us would never make it over there to see this stuff. Sure, these subjects could probably be viewed in a magazine but they are extra special because you are a fooser and one of us. If you don't mind I'll probably copy some of my favorites, they would be a great screensaver or desktop background.

Excellent work!

ICE,

those are your best pictures yet...I can't say enough, they were personal, artsey at times, romantic, historical, sad, encouraging...such a mix...made me feel like I was there at times or I was walking through history both noble, sad, and inspiring

thanks, keep blockin em

*LOL* What does "artsey fartsey" mean at all?

Iceman,

taking photographs like these takes an artist, in my humble opinion. Watching them makes me want to go to France again so badly...

Have you ever been to Cologne? I'd love to see my home city through your eyes, especially the cathedral.

Thanks for sharing!

Compliments from my foos peeps, priceless. Thanks guysl.

I have never been to Cologne, but if I ever get there, I will for sure take pics for you to see and thanks for the kind words. For you to say you would like to say that you would like to see your city through my eyes is pretty damn cool. I just like taking pics that I think others would like to see and it seems sometimes I get really lucky with a pic.

Artsey Fartsey, a slang phrase here in America. Kinda means a manly man wouldn't like stuff like art or say a movie like Sleepless in Seattle. Being that the foosballboard is a pretty rough board at times and can be pretty harsh as you know,lol. So in other words, a mans man wouldn't be caught in a place like the Louvre, give me a beer and a football game and I'm happy.

He would make fun of a place like the Louvre by calling it artsey fartsey. Then he would say now if they have beer and bratwurst, I might consider going.

You get it?

I don't know about the other guys, but you won't ever hear or read a compliment from me. I'm just telling you what I think. I have to admit that this sounds like a compliment if I like what I see, though.

If you ever come to Cologne I would of course be mad as hell if you stayed somewhere else than my place. I'd love to show you around. It's not Paris, though...

*LOL* I do, I surely do. Is that a common idea that being a real man and having a taste for art don't go together? Seems weird to me... Art and weapons are what makes the difference between man and animal!

Cologne is a beautiful city. I wish I had taken more pictures while I was traveling through Europe. It's something that now, years later, I deeply regret. I would have had beautiful pictures from 7 or 8 countries, and pictures from all over northern germany.

I learned to play foosball in Emden.
