the damp endless rows of uniform streets in Yorkshire. i think this picture was borne of my love for watching the TV sketch called ‘the testing of Eric Olthwaite’, the story of the most boring man in the world – another superb creation of comedy legend Michael Palin in his brilliant Ripping Yarns series. every community has an Eric in it, sometimes i suspect i’m mines. Here’s a snippet of Eric growing up, below.
well here’s some more because I didn’t say enough….lol…Jaymi also thought this was fabulous and especially commented on how amazing the lighting is on the left side of the building and I totally agree…absolutely brilliant in your fabulous impressionist style….
ha, keep it coming, i can never get enough – so joyed Jaymi loved it – you lot have got some taste, she percieved a key part, a tentative finishing touch of light that gave it a just a needed spark of optimism and sunshine in a grey scene.
