1. Where Were You On Wednesday 8 August 2018

Here's an image and a reflection
Of itself with just a bit of reflection

Together, it's a nice blast from the past
Caught reflecting times that have passed

4. Thank You!! I was right here those four years ago wyn. Where were you? (If I may ask . . .)

2. So I look at the title, before clicking on. Saying to myself, what da fuck can be good about

a picture of sunset on a Subbie?

So I click it. The colors are wonderful.

Then I go back and loot at the title --- above it, I see, George McGovern.

Now, if I had spotted the name first, the question of "What da fuck..." would never have come up.


George never posts a mediocre photo.

3. A picture in a picture.

A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma (Thanks for that mental imagery, Mr.Churchill).

I for one don't see them often enough and should spend more time paying attention.

Great shot George!

[George McGovern]

6. Thanks Andy!

[sprinkleeninow]

16. Caint hep mahsef. Still kinda vain. For my toes. A bit too flashy for hands.

Now you know details. Will this not be the highlight of your Saturday? 🤭 😉

Whut on earth has come over me...

"Sometimes we stumble upon a path that looks plain: pounded earth, tall trees, and repetitive stones that litter the edges seem to be all there is to it. But then, shadows and light filter through the swaying trees, illuminating colorful florals, revealing twists in the path, and turning dew-covered leaves into prismatic gems, showing off the hidden potential for more beauty in the nature that surrounds us. Hidden Potential nail polish starts with a warm violet hue that shows off a strong bronze to golden green shimmer in direct lighting. In indirect lighting, this polish truly comes to life, showing off a rainbow of hidden colors. Going from a warm, nearly red copper, to burnt orange to gold, Hidden Potential then shifts easily into hues of green, blue, and navy - even purple pops out depending on the angle and lighting! This is a truly unique polish in our lineup with its drastically different personalities expressed based on changes in lighting and angles."

it would make a great photo ad:
subaru -- capture the magic

[George McGovern]

17. Thanks orleans! Geez, What would Subaru think? I'll send it in, see what happens. Or doesn't.

[orleans]

19. +1

i have no idea where or how you would submit it

here's a page for media folks..
https://media.subaru.com/cgm-contacts.do?&mid=115&allImage=1

maybe someone in advertising would know?

anyway--i think it's a great photo.

[George McGovern]

20. Thanks orleans. I found an email address for media inquiries and sent in the image.

[orleans]

21. good luck george! nt

[George McGovern]

22. Thanks orleans! Should a miracle occur, if the impossible happens and Subaru uses the image --

I'll split the proceeds with you 50/50!

[orleans]

25. lol! hooray!

i think agents charge 15%
i don't charge for my ideas
but thanks

[George McGovern]

26. Ha Ha -- Nor do I charge for my photos to be downloaded from DU.

But it's so unlikely to happen I'm willing to make such a half-joking, half-serious statement.

[George McGovern]

29. Good morning orleans -- I received this reply from Subaru of America yesterday:

27. Stunning image, George!

I have often thought of trying to capture a sky in a car window, but yours is much better than anything I got here. Those colors …. Just jaw dropping. Like a drawing in pastel crayon. I love it.

[George McGovern]

28. Awww Thank You Diamond_Girl! Conditions were just right.
