There are times,
when the smallest task
needs contemplation;
when the obvious way forward
might not be so wise, or may
present unimagined trials or failure;
when a pause
to reflect on what is real,
and what is illusion…
would occupy a mere moment, and
yet be worth so much more
than arriving on time.

Uber cool Rhoufi!!
Heh, heh – whatever he was up to really suited me :-) Thanks Georgie.

I love just for the fun of it pics :)
This is wonderful, I LOVE IT!!!
Thank you Maree, I must admit I jumped out of my chair when I realized what I could do with it. There’s a third shot with him on the stairs, but two was enough :-)
– Rhoufi
Lol, it’s looking as if he’s chewing his fingernails in indecision and that makes this a great “shot”, Bernard. Maybe he’s wondering where grasping that handrail will take him and if it’s somewhere he’s prepared to go! He does look a bit worried.
To be honest, I couldn’t work out what he was up to – it was all indecision as far as I could see. He wandered off with some tourists after a while, and I saw him again later, but he always looked worried!!
– Rhoufi
Lol! he needed to sit down with a hot sweet cuppa to calm the nerves.
He sure was edgy ;-)

Wow !! well done Bernard . . . transported with indecision . . . . .this goes in my favorite of all favorites pile :-) :-) Cecily
Oh thank you Cecily.. what a compliment. I wish RB had a system of 5-stars si I could rate my favourites too. Thank you so much.

This is so SUPER…I could just scream!! Rhoufi…I truly do LOVE this
I keep looking in hopes that somehow I can figure it out…
Alas, I share his bewilderment HA!
Good work, you. Good to see you working again.
As ever, a fierce peace for you,
~sass
Oh Sass, what a great comment. I am so pleased it has confounded you, ha! LOL.
What I love about it is how confusing it is with such little work – because I don’t have Photoshop I just used PAINT (remember that old program) to just cut him from one photo and paste him into another, and that was it. I have no patience for hours of doddling in PS.
And a fierce thank you to you cara – it’s good to be up where the air is thin ;-)
– Rhoufi
Whoa. This is brilliant. And fascinating. AND fun.
Thanks Robin, it was fun, I don’t normally do composites but since I had both images I couldn’t resist. I’ll BMail you.

Great image Rhoufi. He has a certain Frank Woodley look about him. Great composition!!!
Ha Ivan! Frank Woodley… I knew you were from Melbourne straight away. Thanks heaps.
– Rhoufi
Brilliantly done, rather amusing too! Not a hope I could ever create something like this!
Dear Berns, it was easier than it looks… and I believe you could. It’s all smoke and mirrors. If you want to try it let me know ;-)
