I love those who yearn for the impossible
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Me too, Johie. Me too.

    Now that's what I call a manhole cover! Why can't we have ones like that over here, with Celtic designs on maybe. A Triskele manhole cover would be something!

    Mike - it's amazing how many different sorts there are:

    TD - LOL. Well, this one is actually in a park, so the only thing that would run you over would be gardeners' buggies :) But yeah, usually the ones in our streets are pretty boring and ugly, too :)

    Lucy - ta :) Happy pondering :)

    Well, Mork, of course the impossible is often the possible, it just feels impossible to us :)

    I like to daydream about different ages than this one with more dimensions and crazy mystical creating the likes we've never seen here in this age. Because the possibilities in this age seem so many, it is us who limit ourselves. Look at the shite little safe thing we live in these days :)

    I love dreaming about the impossible :)

    "Because the possibilities in this age seem so many, it is us who limit ourselves."

    i tend to agree with you my blogging friend from the ever-future. (seeing as how you're always 15 hours ahead of me...commenting here is like time-travel!)

    more often than not, when we say something can't be done, it is simply because we cannot conceive of it. or can't see a way, with our limited resources at hand, to accomplish it.

    Australia must have the most artistic community ever, anywhere! The best photographers on Red Bubble are from Australia...something's up...tell all Sue, what's going on in your amazing country.

    Jon - yes, I agree. Without vision the people perish is the thought that keeps flying in and out of my mind lately.

    Jennifer - really? I don't think it's all that amazing. A lot of the time it's bland and conservative and grey and boring, like every other Western nation. I guess it just depends on where you're looking. There are definitely lots of creative people here but no more so I would imagine than in the States

    Yeah dreams - so many of us tip toe our way to old age so we get to death safely. Now there's a life well lived!!!!

    I really do wish though I was more of a risk taker - an actor and not a reactor to the stimuli around me.

    MikeF that is too cool, thanks for that.

    Sue, they are kind of like church doors eh? They look so beautiful but so much sewage is hidden by them, continuously flowing ;)

    Mork - yeah, I guess we could all do with a bit more acting and a bit less reacting, couldn't we :)

    Mike - LOL A manhole coverologist :) Is that anything like a proctologist? :)

    TD - LOL! Thanks for that quote. Had me laughing for ages :)

    Hopefully, not so many proctologists will be publishing galleries of their photographs on Flickr...

    Perhaps you need to wear a manhole cover?

    What, like my helmet of salvation, to stop the visuals coming into my head? :)

  18. MikeF5 October 2008 at 22:11

    That's the idea... What a marvellous thought, the manhole cover of salvation ;-)

    ...With all of these, take the standpipe of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one...
