Decisions, decisions

I have been too busy to go out and shoot new photos, so I am relying on some old Army era photos.

I can't decide. I like both. Both have memories and emotion attached.

1. Definitely the 2nd one IMO

Really like that one. Just don't ask me for a possible title. My internal title generator was sent into the shop for repairs. They say it's suffered considerable damage and can't tell me when they'll get it back to me. :-)

Didn't you have a cafepress "store" at one time? If so let me know.... if you want it linked or I can link your wheatpaste graphics place over in the group smugalugazug. Or not. Whatever. Just trying to finish up, add content, other stuff.

Interesting... when I tried to add the navbars to the bottom as well as the top my "mouse over" images were missing in action. Think java may cancel out other java?
:shrug:

... so enter the 2nd one. Very kewl.
:thumbsup:

2. I think you are right. The rider is named Gigante. He was

a gentle giant and my friend. He had just returned from the 68 Olympics, had signed with a pro team in Italy.

This day he was crushing the opposition with a solo break away. He lapped the field 5 times. the guy was an animal.

If you want to link my site, go right ahead.

My mind is rather slow today. Yesterday was extremely intense. For the past few months I have been working for a vote on buying our water supply from the German conglomerate, RWE. Yesterday they got an injunction against us, preventing a vote on the issue. They would have lost if the vote was allowed, so they used the courts against us.

so I am going with your recommendation. Thanks

3. I agree the 2nd photo is the better choice for the contest.

But I really like the top photo better. Is that guy walking on coals? Fencing? Doing a sword dance?

4. He is dancing. This is during the Festival of Meskele, the finding

of the true cross by St Helena.

He is an old warrior, probably a survivor of the colonial wars. Even in his advanced years he can still dance.

Behind him is the largest moveable structure ever made by man , the most advanced device of its time. It was an engineering wonder. And there is the old warrior and his sword.
