It is just wonderful that you three special friends and photographers appreciate this image. Thank you dear Eva, Luud and Liviu.
The whole theatre is adorned, over-adorned, in this style, so it does create an expectancy as one enters and rendezvous with friends.
I have been to two productions in this theatre: "Lion King" was an absolutely riveting experience that was stunning, creative, colourful and memorable; "Billy Elliot" was quite ordinary though there are some characters etched in the memory... and I do not remember a single song or tune, but I am reminded of the miner's strike and the industrial transformation of UK coal mining... but the history lesson wasn't why I went to the theatre.
Original shot Ian I liked it. I was looking to your tag sheep to see if you had Polwarth ones in your photos but haven't found any. I've uploaded this oneto show you another important relationship between your country and mine. We are your sons in sheep breeding and have reach a good genetic level thanks of importing good blood from there as my father in law did years ago together with others breeders. Un gran saludo y buen domingo (good sunday), Edmundo
Thanks Edmundo. I am pleased you liked this one, too.
This has given me an idea, that one day I might produce an effective image of a sheep being shorn in much the same way as I have created this image. AS you know the animal is usually quite still while the shearer's hands are moving. In the low light of a woolshed it should be possible to create a good still of the animal and background whilst capturing the movement of the shearer's hands and shears.
I think your idea is excellent Ian, I'll wait to see it. Yuo made me remind that wonderful TV serie,"The thorn bird" that made us love Australia and its rural life represented in "Drogheda"... I remember clearly scenes of a competition of shorn. Sunday greetings (and here is very sunny but freezing cold), Edmundo
Colleen McCulloch was the author, a very successful popular author. I found that once I started on Thornbirds it was like a continuous series of dramatic crescendos and anticlimaxes that almost imperceptibly built up and up, until the final dramatic crash. Her novels were very thoroughly researched and set in a particular historical context. Colleen lives on beautiful Norfolk Island at the end of a long avenue of trees.
I have no idea whether any of her titles were translated into Spanish, but any one of them is a very good read.
I am sure using Drogheda as the name of the sheep station was very intentional - perhaps you have heard of the Battle of the Boyne.
In spanish Mc Culloch's "Thornbirds" was called "El pájaro canta hasta morir" (bird sings until dies) that I think is a good translation cause here anyone knows what Pájaros espino are, and that would be the literal translation. No Ian don't know anything about Battle of Boyne, I will see in the web and after comment you
Thank you, Edmundo. I find it fascinating learning of my own culture and society from you. It is special to be able to cross boundaries and learn from Uruguay and from Spanish.
In regard to Battle of the Boyne, I read this summary in the Wikipedia article: "part of a complicated political, dynastic and strategic conflict." That surely matches the theme of "El pájaro canta hasta morir".
Thanks for the comment Ian, I'm flattered but I don't think you learn anything from me. Perhaps my requests make you investigate and that's what you're meaning.
I am pleased that you enjoyed this image. I reckon you could have a lot of fun photographing movement in the bustling lanes and streets and markets of HK.
I have rarely seen photos where the hint of some one passing by is captured so fleetingly. I am sure that others here will be bemused by the ghostly figures.
On a similar theme, the UK is noted for overbearing surveilance due to the intrusive use of CCTV systems. Very few people are ever brought to book as many of the images appear (or disappear) as the case may be, to be almost as blurred.

The company was great.
As for Atlas, it seems he has perpetual strength.
Warmest greetings from the heart of Sydney,

Very good shot, Ian, good captured people in motion, I like it very much
Take care
Hi Rafal,
Thanks for your appreciation. And encouragement. I guess you take your camera when you go to the theatre too?

I like the men in motion. It look as if they are transparent. Nice shot.
Cheers, Jeff
Dear Jeff,
I am pleased that you enjoyed this image. I reckon you could have a lot of fun photographing movement in the bustling lanes and streets and markets of HK.
Kind regards,

It's a outstanding interior decoration ,Ian ! What a wonderful moving like a the three-dimensional world.
Greetings,Stephan
Thank you Stephan. There are some wonderful places in every big city, I guess. And the Capitol Theatre is a glorious Sydney classic from a past era.

refreshingly different Ian
