    Short and to the point. In those day of Valette's painting all they had were dark, smoggy, smoky days.

    I'm not familiar with this artist. It's one of the more somber Impressionist paintings I've seen.

    I think we know the back-alleys better than the streets.

    Certainly if i saw the world that way all of the time, i'd feel very somber and sad and hopeless.

    Fortunately Mimi I don't feel that way most of the time, but this image certainly made me think about the events going on right now.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
